FIVE BODY-BALANCING UNILATERAL MOVES YOU SHOULD MASTER.

It’s rare in sports to be doing the same thing at the same time with both legs or both arms, especially with the same force or velocity. Yet the vast majority of strength exercises are done bilaterally—with both sides at the same time. (Think: pull-ups, push-ups and barbell curls.)

The thing is, despite what your mother told you, no one is perfect. We all have a bigger foot, a larger biceps and a weaker side. We prefer one side over the other for writing, kicking, throwing or hitting, a preference that inevitably creates an imbalance, making one side of our body stronger, more agile and more adept than the other. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport showed that strength differences between your limbs can be as much as 25 percent.

You might not even realize there’s a strength disparity between your sides, especially if you perform mostly bilateral movements in your training. With something like a barbell curl, for example, your stronger arm will compensate for the weaker one to do the lift, essentially masking an asymmetry or a weakness that may have developed. Imbalances such as these could lead to ineffective movement patterns, compromised joint and tissue integrity, and even injury over time.
