Holy shit @carlcase I was going to bring this exact passage up as well. We have more of a connection than just our love for shoes. I am sure @menacedolan can give us very good insight here but let me give my two cents. Think about a pitcher in baseball or an outside hitter in volleyball, they are going to have a pretty big asymmetry due to the use of one side over the other. This is something that is a need for the performance of their sport and attempts to fix this could actually have a negative impact on their performance. Now a question I have comes from the following paragraph, talking about natural asymmetries in bar position of lifting. For example, when I back squat I have a slight tilt of the bar and it gets slightly more pronounced the heavier it gets. How important is it to fix this tilt and is it causing damage?

Right handed or left handed is a natural asymmetry, mostly coordination. We can pump out the same weight DB’s on the bench, but can you throw darts or play ping pong the same both hands? I know for a fact @luke and I can, but we’re all kinds of anomalies.
Hobbs,
Write in the bar symmetry passage up here.

Like when you use the “stranger”

“For instance, in lifting a weight in any movement, the athlete usually rotates or tilts slightly to one side and the bar fails to travel parallel to the frontal, sagittal or transverse plane. This natural asymmetry must be taken into account when the coach is analysing technique. In doing so, it is necessary to observe and record the trajectory of the bar from both ides of the body and only then compare it with the ideal trajectory for that movement.”
