Hello there,
Apologies if you've covered either of these elsewhere or I missed info in the podcasts:
1. Do you have stock recommendations for how to train with a leg length discrepancy? E.g. at what point an LLD warrants a shoe shim, whether or not you should take a compensatory stance for the longer leg, when it's okay to let the bar rest asymmetrically on the back, etc? I know you've explained at length that LLDs are very common and Austin in particular has argued against the structural/biomechanical model of pain, but would discomfort be part of the criteria in determining what to do for an LLD?
2.is there evidence to suggest worse/reduced training outcomes for people with mild to moderate kyphosis, leg length discrepancy, scoliosis, etc? I.e. all else held constant, do people with any of these common structural issues actually get stronger less quickly/efficiently than other trainees?
Thanks for your time and insights, now and pretty much always
