Mike Mahler on correcting weak links and muscle imblances
Like many right-handed fitness trainees, my right arm has always been stronger than my left. The only way I have addressed this is to do all my 1-arm exercises (kettlebell military press, clubbell armpit cast, etc.) with my weaker arm first, and let the weaker arm set whatever poundage (if using a weighted implement) and/or set-rep scheme I would use for a particular session.
In the above linked article, Mahler explains why this may not be enough, why weak links and muscle imbalances may lead to serious problems, and how to really correct them.
