One weak side

mdawson47

Hi,
My left side is quite a bit weaker than my right when I exercise.
So my question is should I continue to train both sides equally or should I be doing more on my left side in order for it to catch up?
Thank you

I have read (because I have the same problem because of some nerve damage) that you should lift the weight your weak side can manage on both sides until you improve the weak side's strength - lift as heavy as that side can manage and it will continue to improve, but it takes time.

^^ This is what I do. I start reps on the weaker side. If I can only do 10 of the 12 reps on that side, then I only do that many on the stronger side.

Thank you, I will give those tips a go.
