Up and down. Up and down….
Split squats aren’t glamorous, and this bloke is making out 😅 ….. but there’s a reason unilateral work shows up through our programming.
Unilateral work (fancy way of saying ‘one side at a time’) does the stuff bilateral lifts can’t.
Single leg, single arm, split squats, single arm carries, single arm presses, step ups. One side at a time, doing its own job, with very little to lean on.
Single sided work builds strength and stability and it carries straight over into how you move day to day. Walking, running, getting off the ground, reaching for something with one hand while the other’s full.
Train both sides properly and neither one gets to coast.
The unglamorous work, is the stuff that changes how you move as well as being a great injury preventer.
