Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I have been wanting to increase my weights on my ubwo, but I am having a problem with my left side. I have a significant weakness in my left side - so much so that when I attempted to do some hammer curls with 15 lb dumbells, I ended up using my right hand (with the weight) to give my left hand a little boost to finish the last two reps. This was similar to what I have seen a trainer do when assisting someone to get that last puch up there. I have a diagnosis of dystonia (lot's of weird muscle cramping) that has actually improved with my workouts and improved nutrition. So, do I only train as much as my left side will allow, or do I train each side separately - such as incrase on right but not left. It appears only to interfere with the ubwo and then the lower if I use the free weights for squats instead of my bowflex. It is simply that the weight I need for that is too hard for me to hang on to and hurts my shoulders. Any suggestions on how to bring my left side up to par with my right?
