About 2 years ago I had a medical condition which caused me to lose significant strength and size in the upper left hand side of my body. Fortunately the situation was resolved and I have managed to regain my strength and musculature.

With this though, I still have quite visible differences between my left and right hand side, more so than the typical dominant / non-dominant differences and I want to dedicate some time and effort to reducing this.

I currently have a split which allows for two upper body days and I'm thinking of either:

A - dedicating one of the upper body days to a left hand upper specific day, with the other remaining a full upper day

B - continuing with two full upper days, but adding additional exercises targeting the main weaknesses in my upper left quadrant.

C - changing my routine to include more unilateral type exercises and doing with the right only what the left could do with perfect form.

I'm leaning towards option A, but would like to know if one day of full upper is enough to at least maintain the existing musculature in my upper right quadrant or whether the other options have a better chance of that.

Hi all. I've been playing for about 18 months and made good progression thus far, but for the last few months I feel stuck. I feel there is work to do technically as well as tactically / strategically.

Currently, I get to play twice a week and I'm wondering whether I should just keep on plodding and improve organically or whether I should do a lesson once a month and work on implementing the changes for the rest of the month. I'm hesitant to change too much or too frequently as the changes won't have time to embed.

That said, historically I've found lessons hard to implement or of limited value. These were in other sports, but the same would apply as I also took them after having figured stuff out either through watching pros or reading books. Given this, I'd also like to get feedback from those that took lessons and how that worked for them. Specifically if you took lessons after having played a fair amount as some of my bad habits are pretty entrenched.
