Hi, bikeforums
Is there any way to solve leg dominance? I've noticed that my right leg is much more muscular, and sometimes when pedalling I notice the difference.
Thanks

Try one leg pedaling with the weaker leg.

Yeah, you can train, or train out, just about anything, and having the awareness of the target is half the battle, so doing things like the suggested one-legged pedaling exercises are good, but even just practicing to put more effort into pushing with the weak leg while pedaling will both strengthen it and set up the habit of making it work. Of course, off the bike weight training will also help you achieve the muscular symmetry you're looking for.

That said, some L/R imbalance in the pedal stroke is pretty normal, and nothing to worry about necessarily.

I would think an approach like the second poster suggested will work better than all out one leg pedaling. I mean... that's really not that practical without foot retention hardware, and we don't know that that is a given here. Mentally focusing on a given leg is, however, quite achievable. I'm going to start paying more attention to chaadsters posts. This is the second one today that flat out nails the matter at hand. FWIW.

I'm in agreement with this. It's not necessarily something that needs to be "solved".

Leises, I like Chaadster's posts, too.

For the OP, there's the possibility that your legs are different in some medically significant way, maybe you need a trip to a doctor to get set up for a physical therapist assessment.

Also there are additional techniques for balancing your body - practicing yoga or tai chi for example. Both tend to give you practice in controlling both sides of your body identically.

Well, hey, thanks for the compliments folks, I'm genuinely flattered!

One legged pedalling drills. Which, when on the road actually retain both legs guys. You simply focus on using one more than the other. It's only on a trainer that you actually unclip or remove the other leg.

Single legged squats. Which can be performed at home, with no additional equipment.

It also doesn't hurt to examine one's fit and ensure that things are set up for your body. Cleat posititon, saddle height and rotation can all impact on available pedaling force. Most of us have assymetries of various sorts. Depending on the nature and extent of your's some fit adjustments may be warranted.
