The soleus isn’t THE strongest muscle but it’s one of them, the masseter is THE strongest muscle in your body. It’s a muscle that helps you chew

I have an imbalance and my right is a lot weaker than my left. My bad one has been getting sore. How would I go about fixing this? Train one side only?

No, the soleus is not the muscle that handles the highest load in the body. While the soleus is important for activities like walking and standing, the muscles that generally handle the highest loads are the large muscles of the lower body, such as the gluteus maximus and the quadriceps. The gluteus maximus, in particular, is one of the largest and strongest muscles in the body, and it plays a significant role in movements that involve heavy loads, such as squatting and lifting.
