This is My Good Side

Do Single Leg & Single Arm Exercises

Do Single Leg & Single Arm Exercises

Most orthopedic injuries are a result of one limb being significantly stronger or more flexible than the other. In regular people speak it sounds like “this is my good side” or “this is my good knee”.

As long as we have one side that is relatively better than the other, we will always move a little funny leading to further compensation and each side getting worse and worse when compared to one another.

The easiest way to fix this is to perform single-leg and single-arm exercises in the gym while limiting the weight and/or reps performed to what the ‘bad’ side can handle.

For example; if you press 30 lbs with your right arm but only 15 lbs with your left arm; we would use 15 lbs for BOTH sides until the left arm caught up with the right arm. When each side is of equal strength and relative flexibility, I guarantee that whatever orthopedic issues you were dealing with in your upper body (and maybe even back) will feel SIGNIFICANTLY better.

Here are a few of my favorite single-leg and single-arm exercises:

1. Deadlift Romanian Single Leg with 2 DB’s​

 

2. Single Leg Bridge

3. Single Arm DB Row

Stay patient and only progress at the rate the ‘worse’ side allows and then thank me later ☺

Talk soon,

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are three ways I can help you:

1. Enjoy a Week of Personal Training for $1

Sometimes a coach and a community of like-minded people is just what you need to get motivated and work on becoming your best self.

I have a personal training studio in central Austin, Texas.

Come test drive it for just $1 to see if we’re a good fit. Just respond to this email with “$1” in the subject line and I’ll get back to you with details.

2. Come in for a Custom Success Session

We’ll sit down together and discuss your goals, simple steps you can take to achieve them, and see if there is anything else I can do to help you get the results you want quickly.

If you’d be interested in a Success Session, just reply and put “Success” in the subject line and I’ll follow up with you.

3. Train With Me From Anywhere

If you can’t make it to my facility in Austin, you can still train with the best! We can train you on Zoom, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, or almost any video software that you prefer. This is exactly like personal training, but it’s anywhere you need it to be, and it’s even more affordable. If you are interested in my world-class, anytime & anywhere program, reply with ‘online’ and I’ll get you all the details.
