    Sometimes it kinda boggles me people don't train unilaterally... I guess it also depends on the job one does.
    I'm a machinist, and for me opening and closing a clamp (for machining, not the traditional kind) requires turning a kind-of-wrench clockwise for closing, and anticlockwise for opening. While closing, a certain force is needed using my right arm, and the resistance is at the end, while opening is the opposite: high resistance at the beginning using my left arm. Over time I had to find ways to properly grip the wrench either way to balance out these imbalances, but it's not at all an easy task. I'm stronger in pulling with the right arm than the left, and am stronger in pushing with the left than the right. At home in the garage I've obliged myself to train unilaterally to kinda-sorta try to balance out both sides, but training for just some hours weekly is nothing compared to working for 40 (if not 55-ish) hrs weekly in a certain manner. 😐

    It's really interesting seeing someone in this context talk about training for time instead of a specific # of reps. I'm a kettlebell fan, and there's a good amount of teaching out there about training for time instead of specific #s of reps when it comes to various kettlebell exercises. However I don't think I've ever even heard someone suggest it for traditional gym style exercises or lifts.

    That was super informative. Good work. The bit about unilateral work on the face pulls was something that I saw in a different video recently. I was lifting in the garage witrh my buddy and they had a recent Nick Walker video on. One of the things that I noticed the most was how his bicep was literally in the way of some of the tricep extension/pressing work. It's something I've never really noticed before. Granted only a bodybuilder would get to a point where the bicep would get in the way that hardcore but it was still instructive. I've thought about adding more timed sets into my training but currently only use it for flat cambered bar holds. I've done it for a 1 minute and a 1:30 and that extra 30 seconds really does so much.

    It's all about the brain and nervous system. It's amazing how your body has a mind of it's own. I put extra weight on the left side when doing squats and I my right leg still finds a way to do more lifting at times. It takes hyper consciousness to actually shift more of the load to the left leg and it's such a baby about working hard. Lol. Muscle laziness is subtle and can be tricky to fix.

    A lot of "biomechanics" guys talk like it's complicated, weird science, voodoo just constantly throwing out jargon, and never really giving you much that's beneficial. You can tell a guy knows a lot about a topic when he can distill the knowledge into simple language, explain the benefit clearly, and the method to do it, and it vibes with just about everything else you've heard or read on the subject, just a little tweak here or there to do it better.

      I think that'd fall under the same question about doing more reps on the weaker side, and you shouldn't do that. The intent isn't to overwork the weak side. It's to equalize work on both sides to what the weak side can do, so the weak side can catch up with less risk of injury while the strong side has a short break in the mean time. ;)
