I hear these little tidbits from time to time, and I'm never sure how "hard and fast" they are, but I thought I'd ask others for their input here.
There are strength ratios I generally try to follow when I'm training so I stay "balanced", but I'm not sure I've got 'em right.
For example, I do my alternating dumbbell curls with 25 pounds a side
so I do my overhead single dumbbell extension with a 50-pound dumbbell
so my bis and tris are balanced.
I try to keep my SLDL the same as my ATF squat, and I have aimed to be able to squat my own weight.
I try to keep my hamstring curls the same as my seated leg extensions, although my hamstrings are losing this battle. I'm not sure if I should be concerned.
Are there any guidelines any of you try to follow for balance?
