Single Limb Training Program!
This month we’re going to follow a unique workout that focuses entirely on doing single limb exercises, meaning that you’ll be training 1 arm and 1 leg at a time. There are several benefits to this style of training…
First, it will help you to develop balance and proportion between your left and right sides. Most people are stronger and more developed on one side of their body, usually their more dominant side. For example, if you are right handed, chances are your right arm is bigger and stronger than your left arm.
Second, single limb training will stimulate a higher level of neuro-muscular activation compared to training both limbs simultaneously. When you focus all your strength and energy on just lifting with one arm or one leg, you can generally generate more force output, and this can help spur on new growth.
Third, it will train your body in a more functional manner. With most day to day physical tasks you generally lift or move with one limb at a time. For example, when you walk or run you are not working both legs together, you are alternating working one leg at a time. When you pick up something it’s usually with one arm at a time. And even when you are using 2 arms to lift something big and heavy (i.e. moving furniture) very often the load being lifted is unbalanced, and one side ends up supporting more weight than the other.
So, by using single limb exercises in your workouts you can focus on correcting any imbalances that you may have while stimulating new muscle growth in the process. This will very often carry over into increased strength for your regular 2 limb lifts as well.
