Muscular imbalances and unilateral exercises

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hey BBM Team,

i have noticed that one of my quads is noticeably (to me) larger than the other now I know muscular imbalances are common but does this correct itself over time ? As I don’t feel Im favouring one side when doing lower body exercises.

Is there evidence that unilateral exercises correct muscular imbalances ?

And just wanted to Know how or if you would address this? I’ve measured and it’s about a 1 1/2 inch difference.

Thanks.

Unless there is a significant impact on physical function I wouldn’t worry about it.
