    As I’ve said, I tried it with no weight and I went deepest I could and it was still not touching the bottom.

    It’s not causing me any pain or anything but there is just something in my mind telling me that I can’t go deeper. I think it’s because there is nothing that will stop the machine if I fail, so if I would somehow fail and would not manage to get the weight up and no people would be in the gym, I’d be fucked.

    Well I didn’t have a chance to try if it hurts while working out since it started 3 days ago when I was doing hack squats so I don’t know if it hurts now

    In that case, I’d go to the gym and see how it feels. Warm up well and build the weight up slowly. If you feel pain and won’t be able to get a productive session in, then leave. If you can manage to do something, even if you’re just moving some blood around, then do so.

    But isn’t it still better to rest even if it hurts even just a little bit?[/quote]

    I thought you said you didn’t know if it still hurts. If you’re unsure, just rest.

    It hurts while I walk so I assume it will hurt while training legs, especially while doing squat patterns and leg extensions

    I feel like my hamstrings are really weak in hinge work so I could add sld’s as Meg said, which will be great for my lower back too. Thank you all.

    And is it needed to completely delete the abductor or can I keep it and just add an excersise? If I add 1 set of standing single leg curls it should be fine right?

    Hello mate, origins can come from injury or the need to see a physio more often, and sometimes execution when you do bilateral exercises. Intention into the right side isn’t there or alignement of structure of your body isn’t there.

    Record yourself at the gym

    Check. Physio. Often.

    And on top of this : daily activities emphasis this gap.

    Exemple : bikini npc posing : we twist waist on one side only for the posing on front pose; if you don’t force the twist an equivalent number of time on the other side; you will create imbalances at the gym.

    When i was posing both side for hips/waist twisting; i was proportionnal left and right.

    When i started to pose only on one side for the stage; a gap started to appear btw my left and right side on all muscles.

    You need to see if you don’t do smg into your life just alway on one side (sleeping also!!!!, laying and watching tv on the side etc) which could create this gap

    If you did not injured yourself; cause i guess you did not as you said “entire body right side is different” then it’s from your home posture.

    No matter what you do at home; make sure if you do on the left side; you balance doing it also on the right. Turning your neck, turning your lower back, crossing legs, sleeping etc etc

    Big thanks to you and everybody else! I will make sure to follow what u just said and I’ll hope it will work. Once again, thank you very much.

    Where are your muscle imbalances? Do you have injuries? How long have you been training? How bad are the imbalances. Please upload photos so we can help you here

    It is kinda the whole right side of my body but the most annoying for me is my right bicep and the right side of my back. I’m having trouble with lower back pain but I’ve been trying some excersises and they help a little bit. I’ve been training for probably 3 years now but the imbalance on back started recently, unfortunately I have no photo from now but I will upload as soon as I will take some.

    How bad are your muscle imbalances? Have you tried stripping things back to see if you are engaging properly??

    Try incorporating unilateral exercises into your training set up

    You could also go and see a physio / chiropractor to address any underlying factors

    They are not THAT bad but they annoy me so much because I’m a perfectionist and I hate to see even a little bit of imbalance on my body, I think I’m actually doing a really good job at engaging them properly even while doing unilateral excersises.
