Daft question

Kryten

If you took up body building and only did exercises using your right arm and right leg, would you end up with half your body looking like Arnie Swarfega and the other half looking like Mr Muscle?

And if so, why has no one done this?

Apparently Barley has an overdeveloped right arm....

I think that may be true. You can see long term wheelchair losers lose muscle tone in legs through lack of use and develop strong arms as they do the exercise much more. To my thinking if you can have untoned legs and toned arms, you can have one toned arm and one untoned if you dont use it, if you get what I mean.

No one has done it because it would be just a bit daft...

Well yes - of course it would happen. And Sarah has the answer to why nobodys done it.

Kryten - this could be your big chance to seize fame !

Martina Navratilova had a greatly developed left arm for her tennis but her right was just normal looking by comparison

Kryten

That's why I'm asking. I am thinking of a new career appearing on chat shows etc.

Booky

Ooh, Kryten! Do it! And make sure you take pictures

Gazmanmeister

Would that be similar to the person who's having half a body tuck

Kryten

I am already really skinny on my left side - so I am half way there!

cougie

Dunno about steroids though - how are they taken ? Best keep clear for maximum effect.

I seem to recall an article in Peak Performance about this. I think it said that if you train only the dominant side (right for most of us) then the other side then the other side did show some improvement despite not being trained. But apparently it didn't work the other was round.
