I have trouble recruiting the left side of my body during squats and deadlifts. I no longer squat, but when I still was, it was always my right knee and quads that felt bad the next day. Nowadays, I do volume deadlifts, for instance yesterday, and no matter how I consciously try to recruit the left glute and hamstrings, I have DOMS only on my right side today.

This is unacceptable. What can be done?

Do a Bulgarian squat or speed skater squat with your left leg?

I wonder if it is a good idea in the deadlift to load the left side heavier. Say 5 kg more.

Try it. You might have results with it.
I believe there's a reason why coaches don't do this, but it's best to find out yourself.
