This is what I would do:
unilateral training. Single leg romanina deadlift, King deadlift (single leg DL), Bulgarian splits squat, pistols, lunges, etc.
Or I might want to have a friend to spot me. In the event that my hips/knees/whatever senget to one side, then he has to tell me immediately. I either try to correct it while on the rep, or I reset and do another lighter rep and groove in the proper movement.
And he can also guide my movement by placing lightly his hands on my knees/hips (or both hands on the side of the knees/hips). Then my job is to follow his guide. Repeat to groove in the movement.
I may also start from low weight to, then add more weight until my form breaks down. Then practise, practise & practise using the most weight without cacat form.

And also do some glute activation stuff. fire hydrant, bird-dog, super dog.
Not sure if it's related, but I just know that stretching & glute activation are important and I would do it for the heck of it anyway.

Well, I notice that my left and right side squat differently. I generally push from the left heel (solidly planted to the ground), but I'll push using the balls of my right foot, as if it's ready to jump.
I have no idea what to interprete from this feeling. LOL

You can wreck your back if you're not careful. BTW, what made you think about it?

I'm merely guessing: Probably your right side (back+obliques) would work harder to stabilise the weight, and your left side (glute, hams) work harder to drive it up.
Maybe single leg stuff would make more sense.

Everyone needs some neuro re-wiring to become more ambidextrous! LOL!

QUOTE(arekey @ Oct 29 2009, 03:23 PM) You don't have to worry about balancing the barbell. Exactly why it can make the imbalance worse. Since you can just push more with the dominant leg. A free barbell at least forces your to balance the bar so that both legs works nearly the same effort.
