Toss up between back and legs for strongest. Weakest would be chest.

weakest core then chest

strongest by far is legs (all muscles)

weakest is my legs, strongest probably back!!

Posted by: kpwrestler4

Weakest is definitely my chest. Strongest in terms of how much i can lift has to be my legs.

my weakest has 2 be my bicep strongest my chest

Posted by: readyformore

Strongest = chest / delt / tri
Weakest = legs (knee problems = no heavy lifting without pain...)

Posted by: Mark Sabino

Maybe triceps

Weakest: Anterior deltoids and forearms.

Strongest: Quads

Ah, the anti-bro.

Weakest? Delts.

My clavicles are ridiculously short and the muscle fibers in that region or pathetically sparse giving me ye olde coat hanger appearance. Son of a...

Strongest? The deadlift was my biggest lift with a 365 max at about 170 lbs. But that was more a combination of very short legs (32 inseam) and super long arms than general strength, imo. And I'm no longer approaching that number. Not even remotely.

Weak shoulders. Too much work related overuse through the years has severely limited any overhead pressing moments.

I'd take advantage of that strong back and use it to help strengthen your legs with some deads and squats.

Biceps and abs are my weakest and most lagging. Neither responds very well. Biceps have gotten a little better since dumping bicep-specific exercises and leaving it up to back movements to get the job done. My abs are just a fucking train wreck.

Legs and back are my strongest.

Abs weakest. Legs strongest by far.

Strongest is my Erector, I have no weak areas.

Strongest are my quads by far.
Weakest...

Chest, biceps, shoulders, forearms (no grip).

Posted by: SurfsideRyan

Id say my legs are weakest (due to a knee injury, I took a year off of heavy leg workouts)

Strongest would be my triceps or biceps

Posted by: Phineas

I like that legs and back keep coming up!

Posted by: malachi

I would have to say my calves and biceps.

Posted by: unclem

i see alot of guys with strong legs, i wish i was one of them. i can dead more than i can squat. right now anyway. real bad knees from yrs of abuse. i can due 225 for 4 now, up from 135 1 month ago due to knee damage. if i can get my squat back to 405 then ill get better i think who nos. i can leg press alot but you need squats.

Posted by: Flathead

I would have to say squats are where I need my most improvement! I think the main issue there revolves around the fact that I hate squats. My strongest lifts are deads & bench.

me to but if you go to the shops online they make the clothes big enough to fit your back. i get the 2xxl from online store or i also wear hoodies and i get great deals at the salvation army they got alot of 2xxl long sleeve hoodies you can wear. nice to. i never train with nothing but hoodies and a hat because i like to cover up as there are alot of cops and corrections go to my gym. i dont trust them. so i keep covered everywhere. my 2 cents bro hope i helped.

I wouldn't sweat it, dude. Most people can deadlift more than they squat. In fact, I think it's a little odd to squat more. I suppose it comes down to individual proportions, but generally deadlifts yield greater numbers.

Also, 225 for 4 is awesome! I would be choked too to be down from previous numbers; I also just had a battle with getting my deadlift back to normal, but with hard work I did, and so will you. It's fun in a way working your way back; it's like Rocky making his comeback in Rocky III.

Was 405 your 1RM?

I have pretty weak lats, still cant do sets of bodyweight pullups. When I started I thought my legs were weakest but from squatting lots and going deep they've become a lot stronger. Also my shoulders arent that strong and I dont seem to be making many strength gains for them.

Negatives get your lat stregth up super fast!
Curt James can vouch for this too.

Posted by: BC Lifter

I can do like 4 or 5 for the first few sets but for the last few I can usually only get 3 maybe 4 in. I usually just use the assist machine and go for 10-12. Im pretty heavy right now like 215, so maybe after my first cut they wont be as much of a problem.

Posted by: viet_jon

I started off being able to do 7-8 pullups. Lifted weights for a good 2 yrs, and could never do better than 12 pullups. @170lbs

In contrast, I almost tripled my starting deadlifts and squats in the same time period.

moral of the story:

pullups aren't easy

Chest for me...however sometimes I think my head's my weakest body part

Posted by: N_I_C_K

Strongest: Biceps or back (any muscle)
Weakest: Legs (any muscle)

I assume when you say strongest and weakest you mean compared to the average muscle right? Like obviously my chest is stronger than my biceps but compared to most people I've got really strong biceps but my chest is only a little above average, in terms of strength.

Strongest tri's... weakest back.

Strongest is chest and tris, weakest are the legs. They have been neglected, but I am working them now.

Posted by: gtbmed

I do quite a bit of oly lifting, so quads and traps are a strength and hams/chest are a weakness.

Posted by: BigBadWolf

traps/shoulders are my strongest, 765 lb shrug x 3 , 315 mil press x 6

my legs are the weakest, i dont even wanna talk poundage

Posted by: Silver Back

Weakest would be arms by genetic default. Thanks mom and dad.

Strongest is definitely back and legs.
