Single-Leg Strength: Why Unilateral Training Catches Weakness Bilateral Hides

Your barbell back squat is lying to you. Dr. Jason Young (DC) and Dr. Kathy Lynch (DPT) take on the New York Times article that finally validated what every PT and chiropractor already knew — bilateral exercises let your strong leg cover for your weak leg, and unilateral exercises tell the truth. We cover the 10-15% strength asymmetry that's normal, the 15%+ that predicts injury, why your glute medius matters more than your six-pack, and the unilateral exercises worth adding to your training: split squats, single-leg heel raises, hip airplanes, and single-arm kettlebell swings. Plus: why pistol squats matter more than you think (until the day you tear your ACL).Website: https://ptchpodcast.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/@PTCHPodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@PTCHPodcastInstagram: https://instagram.com/PTCHPodcastSwag: https://ptchpodcast.shop/swag
