Cortisol and Unilateral vs Bilateral Exercises

Hi Coach Thib,

Is there a difference in cortisol release when comparing unilateral to bilateral dumbbell exercises when the load is held constant for either?

If there is a difference, is it a meaningful difference that should be considered by a natural trainee?

I wouldn’t think that there is a significant difference. If there is, that is extreme minutea that will not change the impact of the session one iota.

Cool, thanks. I was figuring it would probably not be much difference, but thought I’d ask someone who knows more than I do. :slight_smile:
