An asymmetrical body requires an asymmetrical approach. This doesn't mean
our entire exercise program has to be extremely asymmetrical, but it does
mean we can optimize our progress and improve muscles imbalances by
strategically selecting exercises that will fit the needs of our asymmetry.
We know that based on the Left AIC pattern, the left obliques and transverse
abdominis abs are underdeveloped and weak relative to the right.
We are sitting in our right sides more, which allows the right obliques to pull
the right ribs down into an internally rotated state, which results in the left
side ribs flaring up more. This causes a restriction in right anterior (front) chest
wall expansion and left posterior (back) chest expansion.
The right shoulder is pulled forward into more of a winged state and the left
into more of a retracted state.
