Simon,

I would go see a qualified therapy professional in your area first.

Please let me know what they say and I will be happy to add in my two cents.

Hey Nick-good article! The issue I find with most of my clients is they sit all day, THEN demand their body to do something strictly with one side-like the weekend warriors who play golf. This applies to even the athletes who don’t strength train or perform enough unilateral dynamic movements and flexibility to balance/stabilize well when they strike a ball or hit with their dominant side. I have few clients who have normal, functional ability or don’t have pain or optimal movement patterns without us placing our training focus there first. Maybe it’s just my clientele, though…anyway, good article:)!

Nick,

Good stuff. What have you learned about eye dominance? I understand it, but in practice it doesn’t seem to make much difference. Any thoughts?

Rock on

YES!!!!

His “imbalances” may be the reason why he is so good. That on top of his amazing skills.

If that is the case, and you do nothing, as long as he’s not in pain, he fine. But, if you try to fix his imbalances and screw him up in anyway you are screwed and would be forever known as the person who ruined the greatest golfer ever.

As they say – “sometimes doing nothing, is doing something”.

Best regards!

Great question!

I think as long as you switch your grip each consecutive set, you will be okay!

Good luck with your training!

I had heard that Tiger Woods has some muscle that are imbalanced? And his team of experts suggested he do nothing! Because fixing him could possibly hurt his game?

Thanks a million,

Coach Nick, Does deadlifting with a mixed grip lead to muscle imbalances that can potentially lead to injuries? Should I switch up which hand is pronated and which is supinated? If so, how often?
-Thanks!
