TRAINING UNILATERALLY

Whether you are feeling stale on your current routine or just looking for a way to improve your workouts and start making progress again, unilateral training is a perfect way to increase the results of your training time.

What is unilateral training? It is simply working one side of your body at a time. This is not the same as, say, alternate dumbbell curls where you do a rep with the left arm, then a rep with the right, etc. You do a complete set for one side before moving to the other.

For example, do a set of 10 reps on the leg press with your right leg only then do a set of 10 reps with your left leg only.

Unilateral training allows you to increase your focus on the muscle you are working by doing a better job of isolating the working muscle.

Your intensity increases because you increase the muscle involvement due to the bilateral deficit. The bilateral deficit means the total weight you can lift by working one limb at a time is more than the total weight you can lift when working both limbs together.

Here are a number of exercises that are well suited to unilateral training -


Smith Marchine Squats
Leg Press
Leg Curls
Leg Extension
Calf Raises
Cable Crossovers
Pec Deck
Pullups or Pulldowns
Seated Cable Rows
All types of lateral raises for the shoulders
Dumbbell Press
Seated overhead dumbbell extensions
Tricep Pressdown
Dumbbell Preacher Curl
Cable Curl



If you are looking for something different or you just want to increase the intensity and productivity of your current workout, you should definitely give unilateral training a try. Give it a fair shake and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
