🦵🏽 STOP LETTING YOUR STRONG LEG DO ALL THE WORK.
Most of us naturally have a dominant side and sometimes that stronger side can compensate for the weaker one when we’re training both legs together.
That’s one reason I’ve been incorporating more unilateral training into my leg days. 🎯
Unilateral training = training one side independently.
It gives each leg an opportunity to handle its own workload and can help you identify differences in strength, stability, control, and coordination between sides.
For this leg day, I focused on:
🔥 Single-Leg Leg Extensions — 3 × 12 each leg
🔥 Single-Leg Hamstring Curls — 3 × 12 each leg
🔥 Single-Leg Calf Raises — 3 × 12 each leg
🔥 Bulgarian Split Squats — 3 × 12 each leg
🔥 Sumo Squats — 3 × 12
Now, sumo squats aren’t unilateral but I like finishing with a bilateral movement that lets both legs work together after I’ve already challenged each side independently.
QUALITY > WEIGHT. 💯
Control your reps. Don’t rush the negative. Use a weight you can move with good form, and don’t let your stronger side determine what your weaker side has to do.
The goal isn’t just having strong legs.
It’s building two strong, balanced legs that can produce force and move efficiently together. 🦵🏽🦵🏽
BUILD BALANCE. FIX WEAK SIDES. MOVE BETTER. 🏁
