I couldn’t imagine spending double the time at the gym.

It doesn't take me twice as long. When yo are working one side the other is resting and recovering and you are not using as much O2 etc. So it is not like yo have to spend the same amount of time between each body part recovering as you would working 2 parts at the same time. It comes down to what you are willing to do if you want to continue to improve.
Anyone incorporate unilateral movements into their routines. I've been doing unilateral hammer presses instead of standard (incine,decline,flat) with huge gains in strength. bigger pumps then before pumped and more sore.
The stretch is much deeper it feel.
Yeah, on accessories only though. Bilateral movements for the compound, bigger lifts. Sometimes, especially on leg extensions, leg curls, where I feel sometimes one leg bears a bit more if done bilaterally, I'll go one at a time. Also plenty of my arm movements are unilateral. Trouble is remembering number of reps done per side so I can keep it even lol.
