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.
