Thread: What mucsle group has been the hardest for you to develope?

o.w.f.-
when you work chest, make sure you "squeeze" the weight up, instead of pushing it. 90% of people workout wrong, by not using the muscles they think they are working. Instead, most people tend to just push the weight (on flatbench for example), using more shoulders than chest. Lighten teh weight up and concentrate on the m.m. connection.

As far as a troubled muscle group, EVERY muscle group was not good for me (with the exception of my chest). I've busted my ass and now the rest of my body is caught up to my chest.

Thanks Flex. Let me ask you something. Lets say after a good chest workout assuming that I was using good form, by my pecs being sore the next day and not the shoulders would that be a good indication of great form? Sometimes I do feel myself pushing instead of squeezing but correct it on the next rep by going a little wider and pausing at the top to feel the squeeze.

biceps for me...geez i cant get those babies stronger

Lats for me.I can not seem to get them to grow.

exactly...

soreness doesnt indicate a great workout, but it will tell you exactly what muscle(s)/part of the muscle(s) you worked.

therefore, to answer yoru question, if your chest is sore and your shoulders arent, tahts a good thing

most importantly though bro, always think about the muscle your working. squeeze the weight up, give it a full contraction at teh top, and feel it "relax" on the way down. hope this helps...

Thanks again FLEX.

Mind-muscle connection is probably the most important thing you can learn in the gym, and it comes with experience, the sooner you get a feel for it, though, the better, ESPECIALLY with the back, too many people pull with their biceps instead of pulling through the elbows for back movements and therefore experience less than optimal widening/thickening results...I agree that for benchpress it is equally important.

FOr me it's always been the calves...and forearms. Thankfully these are rather trivial muscles (IMO) and I don't stress it too much, really, my other body parts develop decently...Traps I have a real problem with too.

Peace.

if i had to choose 1 in particular, i'd ditto that ditto.

plus it doesnt help that i have very good forearms, which make my arms look even smaller

CHEST!!!!

I have found some good exercises finally to work them... I'm REALLY happy with DB flys and dips... those really work my chest and I hope to see some good results in the next 3 months...

Calves..work em and work em but there's barely any results.

shoulders

Legs, legs and then legs!

Arms for me most definitely.

Lats, I think I will try going lighter and see if I can hit them a little better. Only time will tell how it goes.

since my surgery my forearms and bis have given me lots of problems damit
