1. TRAIN ONE SIDE AT A TIME
Use exercises that you can train one side at a time.
So typical barbell exercises are no good. Use dumbbells, kettlebells, machines or resistance bands.
Any equipment you can exercise using only one arm or leg.
2. START ON THE WEAKER SIDE
Determine which side is weaker.
Usually your non-dominant side but not always.
So if you’re right-handed the left side is typically weaker.
3. DETERMINE YOUR REPS
On your weaker side go to failure or close to failure.
This will determine the number of reps you do on the stronger side.
DON’T DO MORE ON THE STRONGER SIDE EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN.
4. DO AN EXTRA SET
You can do the same number of sets on both sides but doing an extra set on the weaker side is preferable.
DO AN EXTRA SET ON THE WEAKER SIDE.
That’s all it takes.
Doing this will even out the imbalance but it will never be completely gone since imbalances are normal.
