What is your weakest bodypart...and what are you doing about it?

[Herc]

My traps have always been my weakest body part. I have found that heavy dead lifts makes them grow.

Stallion. I know some people will disagree with me, but wide grip lat pull downs worked wonders for my lat spread. I know people say that going wide will only work the inner most part of the back. But I used to compete as a natural bodybuilder and developed an impressive lat spread. The key is not to lean back too far and make it into a row like too many people do. The bar should almost touch your nose on the way down. Of course heavy rows are a must as well!

my legs are my weakest bodypart. my upper body is gonna sue my legs for lack of support lol. What am i doing about it? starting monday, gonna do some squats,sled,curls,and extensions. Im laid off, so no excuse that i can't do legs cuz i have to work. No more bangin in sick on leg day lol

Hey juiceman hey if you have tried everything working out ways have you ever injected into them
I know there will be others who really are against what im gona say but for 2 years i only injected glutes 1 year ago i added delts. I have never gotten more complimens on my shoulders then i do now Maybe its just me but looks wise i see a difference injecting into them
If you havent. maybe give it a try

[ODB]

juicemanjoe - the best advice I can give is to try what u have not done? if ur hitting them often, try less often? - high volume? try low volume?
Heavy weight? try light weight high reps? - etc

Sometimes its just the dumb luck of bad genetics?

[juicemanjoe]

Sad to say my triceps are my weak point and I train them insanely but I can't seem to develop a plump horseshoe any advice? I do close grip bench skull crushers French curls rope pull downs overhead rope extensions dumbbell extensions overhead dumbbell extensions and a plethora of other crap and I just can't get em to grow its like I'm stuck at 18 inches and my tri's are the key to getting to 20.

@ODB no man I never realized how many different variations of shrug there were an old BB that comes in the gym every once in a while introduced me to seated shrugs with bar bell.

Time Bandit I could really use some pointers on lower back exercise cause sounds like we're in the same boat.
In 08 I had my L4 L5 disc removed and replaced. I can't get in a squated and loaded position ever, and I am really scared of back extension's. Man when you said sitting in pain bro I Absolutely understand.

stallion check out the vid's "get cut with Glass" - Charles Glass has great insight on slight changes in form to really hit the correct muscle.

If it is a Large muscle or muscle group lagging I hit it 1st in my workout week or sometimes I hit it 2x in a workout cycle.
- Currently I feel that my chest (specific upper chest is lagging) so I do Inclines 1st on chest day then I hit upper chest again in my wk.

Epe do u do behind the back shrugs? they work good for that Trap thickness. (Lee Haney special).

Weakest body part.. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I'm not in this to pick up cars or to max out my lifts in a competition. So I have pushed and continue to build my body.
Now when you say weakest part I think of my lower back and the pain I feel most days. Even as I'm sitting here I'm in pain. So my solution is to build my lower back.
What am I doing about it ? Limited lifts. No squats and lots of ab and lower back exercise. Strength building my core I guess. Its slow but I feel a helll of alot better
now then I did a year ago. And I look great

[Shrek]

My weakest is my form, I just can't get ripped. What I do about? I call my self a power lifter haha. No but really, cardio and diet. Besides that its my underarms

[Bigs251]

I got to where I was using straps on nearly everything and lost a lot of grip strenght do to it. So now I only use them in heavy weeks to lift that extra bit of weight

[Epe]

Yea I use hooks on all my heavy sets. My grip kinda sucks in way of stamina. I use these bit expensive but worth it

Traps I started using lighter weight and try to pinch at top of rep.

On lats I do drop sets when I can't get a burn anymore from the weight I had been using
I throw the hooks on and start at 300lbs at 10reps and drop 20lbs a set till I get to 100lbs as the weight decreases I try to get 5- 10more reps a set.
I do this for 4 to 5 back days and the up my working weight by 20lbs till next time.
I like the wide grip it tends to get my whole lat but I also use the close grip it gets right under my arm pit I alternate grips with working weight.

You bring up a good point. I've always thought I may have a rep or two left on some exercises but my grip tends to give out. I think maybe some straps, hooks, or versa gripps may be in order to get serious with this.
