If the strength and volume of the left and right muscles are different, the position of the left and right bones will be different. Such consequences are obvious, the body and bones will lose balance during exercise, increasing the chance of sports injury. Therefore, we should pay attention to the problem of left-right symmetry, because symmetrical muscles are not only beautiful.
1. Asymmetric arm (biceps brachii and triceps brachii)
This is the most common phenomenon, and you will find that many tennis players hold the racket arm more strongly than the other arm, which is undoubtedly the result of more full exercise with the racket arm. Biceps and triceps are well developed with obvious lines.
When exercising, try to use one-arm action, aim at the weaker arm with greater intensity, so that its strength and girth gradually keep up with the other arm. Therefore, try to bend the two ends with dumbbells, the triceps are bent and stretched, and one arm is bent over.
2. Asymmetric pectoralis major muscle
Many people are more or less asymmetrical, but a few people will be obvious. In fact, due to the inconsistent strength of both arms, when exercising pectoralis major, the weaker side (for general right-handers, the left side is weaker) will reach the limit first, so that the left pectoralis major with insufficient strength is stimulated deeper and thus more developed.
Therefore, try to exercise the pectoralis major muscle side with weak muscles, but unlike the arm, you can exercise the pectoralis major muscle left and right in isolation, so you need to use your brain and find ways to stimulate the pectoralis major muscle side more.
For the exercise of pectoralis major, in order to change the intensity of stimulation and the quality of action. When bench press, one arm is completely straight and the other arm is slightly bent, or one arm is straight first and then straight, which will affect the balanced development of the muscles of both arms due to different stimulation intensities. When doing parallel bars arm flexion and extension, the body's center of gravity is slightly biased to one side, which will change the angle of force, thus affecting the coordinated development of pectoralis major and deltoid muscles. In short, it is to try to focus on the weaker side of the load to give priority to exercise.
In addition, there are many methods, such as one-handed push-ups, which can also increase the load on the weaker side of the dumbbell (the strongest).
3. Asymmetric abdominal muscles
Many people often mention abdominal muscle asymmetry. The abdominal muscle is actually a whole piece, which is divided into 6-8 pieces by a diaphragm. The size and shape of these pieces vary from person to person, so it is impossible to be absolutely symmetrical. Even if they are asymmetrical, it is generally difficult to adjust, and there is no need to entangle them. When exercising, the amount of training is almost the same, and twisting the stomach is also a good method, and pedaling in the air is the best way to exercise.
4. Asymmetric legs
Generally speaking, leg muscle asymmetry is still rare. Even if it is asymmetric, it is easy to exercise the weaker side in isolation, regardless of thighs and calves, and will not be discussed in detail.
