Just so we can get some discussion going and hopefully others can see and learn what has worked for you to bring up lagging bodyparts, I would like to ask the following questions to get this started:


What is or was your lagging bodypart and what did you do to bring it back up to snuff or at least to the point where you saw some good progress?


I’ll start this off by saying I was always disappointed in my chest. I called it a pancake chest. Lift my arms up and the pecs disappear. It is getting better but still has a long ways to go. What really worked for me was to implement more dumbbell presses along with increasing frequency of training. I hit it at least every 3 days so I could utilize the overcompensation principle to get it to respond.

I really liked the dumbbell presses. What I would do is start out with the bench flat and every set I would raise the bench 1 pin until I was almost doing a shoulder press, then I would bring it back down the same. Great way to hit the chest at all those various angles. I would then do the same with DB flyes. This was a killer and coupled with correct frequency really made a change in my chest.

While we are on the subject, I would also like to throw out a few reasons why that bodypart of yours may be lagging. Time to self reflect and adjust if need be.

Double check your mechanics (form) of the exercise. Make sure you are at least doing it properly. Study some videos or whatever you need to make sure you are doing it properly. I see so many people doing shit wrong that it is not even funny. Study up on mechanics because it will make or break you.

Make sure you are fully contracting that muscles. Shitty contractions means shitty results.

Are you training frequently enough. To much time between workouts for that bodypart means slow results.

Do you have enough variety in your routine. There are lots of angles and movements a muscle goes through so be sure to hit it from all angles.

Are you doing enough volume for that muscle? You have to keep stress the muscle enough or it just gets used to the same ol same ol and won’t grow anymore.

Make sure you are using the proper training variables for your goal. Reps, sets, time under tension (TUT). Are you a bodybuilder doing a powerlifter routine (or vice versa) because that is the workout the guy at the gym gave you?

Stubborn bodypart for me to grow is calves and forearms.

More genetic for myself due to high inserts.

 
Don’t get me started in my calves mate, I’ve tried everything but same problem. Limb length another problem (long torso huge wingspan)  I’ve eventually turned into an advantage but it ain’t easy competing against guys 5/6 inches shorter than you..midget bodybuilders. 

 
calves for sure. If I wear baggy basketball shorts then I don’t even look like I train legs. Would be nice to have a pair of them Tom Platz legs though

 
Calves = genetics. It’s my belief and I’m sticking to it! Tom Platz was the old school god of legs it’s just a shame he couldn’t ever get his upper body in proportion. His legs completely over dominated his physique his upper body was average at best.

  10. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  13. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery

  16. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  17. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  18. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  19. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  20. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
