Hi all
I struggle with a strength imbalance between my left and right sides.
For context I had a brachial plexus injury about 25 years ago resulting in severe loss of strength and muscle wasting in my left arm and shoulder.
The neurologist I saw at the time said that I could hope for an 85% recovery at best.
I feel I've done better than that but would like to know how much difference is normal given that I'm right handed?
I'm currently doing S&S and my left is definitely lagging the right. Unilateral exercises clearly expose my imbalance and working the left feels weaker and less coordinated.
In know it's pretty subjective but what do you think?
