What's your weakest body part....

[bigandreasg]

and what are you doing about it?

Mine is legs and I just wear baggy pants all the time ....Just kidding. I have found an awesome training partner with 30" inch legs at 5'10". The kids a freak at 22yo. I have been hitting quads one day and hams and calves on the next. Real heavy weight and back to basics. Lot's of classic leg movements no fancy bulls#*t and foremost is form. I already notice a big difference. I look forward to legs day more than any other.

Biceps. Arms are only measuring out to 17.75". Pretty pathetic. So now i'm stocking up on synthol and masturbating more frequently. J/K. Mostly just the same as you. Sticking to the basics, trying to concentrate on the contraction and form, being aware of not overtraining, and eating enough protein. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Mine are tri's, but I making a point to change that starting next week

Same here, except I'm actually only at 14.5". Much more pathetic. I'm just going to keep doing the basics. I've gained 2" in 6 months, hopefully that doesn't slow down much.

If 17.75" arms are your worst attribute then the rest of you must be stacked. As for chronic masturbation, make sure to share the work between arms for symmetry.

it's totally my chest that is lacking... everything else is good but my damn chest is not where I'd like it to be

[Timma]

Mine would have to be total legs. My calves suck and my thighs are just small. I'm changing up my routine soon and see if that helps.

[CrazyShane]

Mine is my calves.. I have those high ball calves like Matt Mendenhall, except mine are not as good as his, next would have to be chest. lastly delts...Bis, Tris, Back and upper leg are all growing nicely!

[psychojr36]

mine are my abbs after my knee surgery i gained close to 25 pounds of fat but ive lost id say 10 of it but my abbs r still not at they should be but i am still workin on it

[ROCKETW19]

calvs first flowed by chest

[Stonecold54]

my chest but overall I have a very narrow shoulder girdle, so I will never have that broad chest or shoulders look that I always admired on bigger guys (and some girls, LOL). I have worked a lot my chest this summer and when I take some pics we will see if I did any good things to it.

[MDAM21]

for years i thought it was my chest because proportianatly my bench press is alot weaker than the rest of my body. i can only bench 250lbs for 3 sets of 4 reps, but i can squat 340 lbs for 3 sets at 5 reps. but just recently i realized it was my tris that are weak so i,ve been doing alot of explosive lifting for them. trying to get them muuuuch stronger. as for size i have no idea, i dont measure myself, i just look in the mirror and gauge my progress by how much weight i can press with good form

[BigWilly]

hmmmm, I don't know...I'm pretty proportional as it is...

but I want to bring up my tris/delts/chest...

calves and arms are both at 19"...warm.

I am just the opposite. My chest is weaker than I would like and my arms always grow nicely without even trying (20"). I am guessing that I can close-grip 80% of my bench which is a little disproportionate stregnth-wise.

I don't think he was talking about strength so whatever you can bench has nothing to do with the size of your chest. how will explosive lifting get a muscle stronger if all you are doing is using the stretch reflex, momentum and body swing to get the weight up instead of your muscle?

I guess I should restate that. Basically My chest is a weak spot for me both in size and strength. I have chest developement but it is comparitively slow. My arms, tris especially grow if I think about doing work on them. I have a particularly difficult time getting the upper-inside portion of my pecs to respond. Any suggestions?

get some different parents. Its tough to change the shape of a muscle because all the body is capable is putting on more muscle so basically you are looking to add muscle everywhere. I would try a close grip bench on a machine, just use a free bar and set it in between the handles and do close grips, it might help overall development.

[7lok4]

get some different parents.

You would laugh if you could see me compared to the parentals. Interesting idea. Tomorrow is chest, I will will work it in. Thanks for the tip.

[Slump]

My chest is definetely my weakest body part, although it's starting to improve dramatically now in the size department but not in the strength department.

your right he was talking about size not strength. but i've always found it's easier to get bigger once i'm stronger. but thats just me. as for explosive lifting i think my defenitition is different from yours. i pause at the bottom of every negative contraction. then with as perfect form as i can get, i push up as hard and with as much power as i can, but everything is in control and whichever muscle im using is isolated, i dont use any momentum at all. what were u thinking i did??

[bigandreasg]

I just got to say it's cool to see so many people responding. I didn't think i would get more than a couple responses. Most guys I know have too big of an ego to admit a weak bodypart even if it is glaringly obvious. I think realizing and admitting it is the only way to psychologically muster the strength to overtake these deficiencies. Good luck to everybody.

Biceps definatly lacking...everything but biceps growing, now that i am squeezing more after every rep, im hoping it will make more difference. got a huge chest and tri's, but make a double bi pose and im like god damnit
