Hi all - I have a dual crank power meter and I’ve noticed the contribution from my right leg is much less than the left, and it fades significantly over an individual effort (average kinda 6-10% difference over a long ride and up to 15-20% over a shorter hard effort). I do have arthritis in the right knee and issues with glute activation and single leg squats on right. Not sure how much is correctable but I’m interested in thoughts? Single leg pedal drills? Or more activation stuff? I already do strength including single leg exercises already for 60-90mins a week over 2-3 sessions (mainly Suff strength

Hi @ClimbingMamma,  
Here’s a thread that also covers this topic:

> When I started ‘training’ my Garmin Vector 3’s indicated a reasonable balance 50/50-52/48 L/R. Nearly 2 years later and things have got ‘bad’ - 58/42 being typical (unless I am at low power - ie Z1/2 where the L/R balance is much closer). Obviously my left leg (dominant leg) is building strength quicker than my right leg. Is this bad and what can I do about it?
