   You've hit the nail on the head with muscle imbalances. Left alone, you're not going to get very far in building whatever lift you are working on. Repetitive movements that athletes go through during their practices and personal training can be improved when they train those imbalances in the weight room. Robert Donatelli mentions in his article that "Muscles are our best shock absorbers." He mentions that muscle imbalances can cost a season for athletes. It makes sense because if the alignment in your hips and back aren't even, putting an even bar on you back and expecting your squat form to be perfect is out to the question. "Hip muscles and ligaments are among the strongest in the body and they can affect gait, quickness, agility, and explosive power."
   
   Thanks for the advice on how to attack the problem working with dumbbells and going until your weaker side gives out.
