As the name suggests, I have an issue with left side activation, specifically in my quads/hips. It stems from playing music for so many years and shifting all my weight to my right side.
My left quad is noticeably smaller than my right, but not by much. My right quad also just feels overworked and over stimulated through the day when I’m not actively working out. I would guess due to weak glutes and a weak mind muscle connection with my left quad.
Because of this I’ve been staying away from squats and going for lunges/split squats.
I’m about to start Zulu & was going to use bench, pull ups, OHP and deadlifts as my main lifts. And then for my accessories, I would use barbell curls, skull crushers on one day and then lat raises with step back lunges (biasing my left side) on other days.
I’ve noticed if I prime left side with lunges or split squats beforehand, I can really focus on that for actual bilateral squats & deadlifts.
Seems like a good idea to me but if anyone sees any red flags I’m happy to hear them!
