What is the filmmakers's purpose in making Reggie (Freddy Rodriguez, the Guardain) only work out one half of his body? I don't get the symbolism.

If Reggie was introduced as a normal guy in the beginning, with no significant feature, the audience may not recognize him when he's introduced as the Guardian. The working-out-one-arm thing makes him memorable enough to be instantly recognized again later when necessary.]
