Along the same ones, you can take advantage of the neuro "cross education" effect to help your weak side. In studies, they showed that if you only exercised your right bicep, there still was a strength increase in the LEFT bicep, even if it was not exercised due to a cross education effect. How to use it Say you want to bring up your left Kettlebell Press with a 24 kg kettlebell. 1) start with a perfect KB Press for 1-2 reps on your right (strong) side, with good speed 2) immediately switch to your left side and make it the same--good speed, same form and add reps (so more volume on your left side). I've noticed by doing this, you can still force more volume on the "weaker" side and it allows you to get a few more reps each time.

This in particular comes to light when you participate against a strong bench presser in a sport like grappling. They are usually very strong in the sagital plane but it takes very little effort to redirect their effort out of that plane. This is contrasted to working on the mat with someone that does hard construction all day. Usually very good grapplers once they learn technique. I totally agree with #5.

It makes so much sense to me because you didn't come off as arrogant like most in the industry do. As someone who is still learning I value this information and feel that I've added yet another tool to my toolbelt! Continued success and thanks again!!

I think a lot of people have lower body progressions completely backwards. Start with unilateral loading and progress to bilateral instead of the other way around. You da man! Hey Nick,

I completely agree with every point.
