Weightlifting is *more* than just about the weight you can lift - it's about building a strong foundation so you can lift the **super heavy** things and put them back down...safely! If you're new to the lifting game, or you're a seasoned lifter, you know that an injury can really throw a wrench in your progress.

To avoid the frustration and disappointment of having to sit on the bench for weeks or even months, something that can help you is to bring more balance to your muscles.

Let's face it - we are all built anatomically different. And because of that, injuries can happen if the proper, single-sided conditioning hasn't been performed.

What do I mean by this? Movements like single-sided dead lifts, split squats, lat pull-downs, squats, hip thrusts, dumbbell presses, rows, and more can be the thing that helps you to dig deep and assess where an imbalance might be that could've impeded your progress on a regular squat, dead lift, bench press, and so forth up until now.

By breaking the body down into left and right sides and really getting to know your body on a more focused level, you'll open up the ability to lift more, lift better, and lift safer for a lifetime.
