Overcoming Imbalances: Changing the Approach

In the past, the common approach to addressing imbalances between limbs was to train the weaker side first and then match the performance of the stronger side. However, a more effective strategy is to have the weaker side catch up to the stronger side. This can be done by basing the weight and reps on the stronger side and then using rest-pause method to match that on the weak side. For example, if you can perform 14 reps with a 95-pound dumbbell on your right arm, you would aim to match that on your left arm by accomplishing 12 reps, resting for a short period, and then completing the remaining reps. This new approach has shown faster and better results in addressing imbalances.
