Does anyone else have issues with asymmetry?
I don't know what I have, but it seems I'm crooked.
Like, when I do presses, my right arm is always like a half second slower than my left, even if individually, my right is stronger.
When I squat, my right knee feels like "buckling" when I climb out of the squat.
My entire right side feels slow, even if I can curl more with my right arm. I can't even fully flex with my right side.
Anyone deal with this?
It's pretty common and it will impede your performance at high athletic levels but if you are just lifting for aesthetics or health it won't hinder you much, assuming you have scoliosis that is mild to the point that you don't need medical intervention. Lifting is one of the best treatments for scoliosis.

Honestly its such a minor insecurity I wouldn't sweat it. I didn't even know scoob had a mild scoliosis until you probably spent 3 hours mirin' his bod. Focus on getting mired more than 5 seconds then you can start working on small shit like that.

Thanks mates.
I just worry that if I keep adding weight, I'll get to the point where my right will crumple.
It doesn't feel like it, but I worry a bit.
My muscles are still strong.
But it's like they have a lag.
Do one sides exercises (dumbells instead of barbells, pistol squats instead of squat etc) as much as possible.
Also when possible, (like curls) do all reps for weak side first to figure out how many you can do, and just do the same amount for strong side. Itll even you out.
i have mild scolioisis and asymmetric ribcage, but the doctor has told me to do sports and to lift, but also to avoid unilateral exercises

scoliosis is nothing to sweat. It's a back condition. everyone when I was in 7th grade had to get it checked out. I actually don't know if I passed or not. They said I passed, but it was probably because the lady didn't check my properly cus when I took off my shirt my pits smelled like fckin shit. #puberty
