CT: Prime Time

CT,
I lift for relative strength and follow a split along the lines of your Different Journies, Different Destinations Functional program.

The problem is I feel more soreness in my left side than my right. It’s not night and day but it concerns me. I’m sure it’s due to imbalances from years of grappling as Joe DeFranco, Pavel Tsatsouline, and Jim Wendler have all evaluated my technique at seminars.

I’d like to add some single leg exercises. For example:

A)5x3 Back Squat

B)2x3 Bulgarian Split Squats

I put the Bulgarian Splits second because the strength imbalance isn’t so bad that it alters my technique when doing regular back squats.

  1. Do you think this is a safe option or should single elg exercises be used first in a workout?

  2. Would five sets be too many sets w/ both legs when dealing w/ a noticeable imbalance?

Thank you in advance;This is a huge question for me.
