Hardest Muscle to Build

[VolcomX311]

Chest and upper back are the easiest, my bi's are the hardest to achieve a nice round contour, but I think more of that has to do with my conditioning. Which brings me to abs, but that's 100% conditioning and that would be what I struggle most with.

 

[carli]

biceps =hardest
chest/triceps = easiest

 

[Realtalk]

Most of my pushing muscle groups are my week point

 

[jstarcarr]

chest hardest everything else is pretty easy ,

 

[MDR]

Chest and upper legs come pretty easily

My calves are very stubborn

 

[gopro]

Whats your hardest and easiest muscle to be able to build up? My hardest is def bi's and easiest is probably legs

Chest was my easiest and calves are definitely my hardest. I now have a nice back, but that took A TON OF HARD WORK TO ACHIEVE.

 

[ANIMALHAUS]

Chest is easiest and biceps are a nightmare to grow for me.

 

[mfpd]

Shoulders and Calves grow just by looking at a bar. Chest n quads are by far the hardest for me to put on mass.

 

[N_I_C_K]

Chest and shoulders are by far the easiest.
Biceps are the hardest. Triceps are not quite as hard, but a very close second.

 

[stan69]

chest and shoulders are sloooooooooooooooow to grow..

bi's and tri's are easy...

 

[Moze]

My chest won't grow!!!! but for some reason I genetically have very large calves

 

[SFW]

calves and forearms = slow growers.



My Biceps and quads grow like weeds though.

Make you a deal: some of my chest for some of your calves!

 

[Silver Back]

Hardest for me is calves. I'm over it at this point, but I still hit them twice a week.

My shoulders and traps blow up. Especially on cycle. It helps that standing BB press and deads are my favorite two exercises.

 

[Retlaw]

My Johnson ! fucker never seems to grow as big as i want !

 

[Moze]

DEAL. I need a gorilla plate.

 

[danzik17]

Chest and shoulders were hardest for me.

Calves and legs in general were easy.

 

[OneWheyOrAnother]

My calves grow like weeds LOL !!!!! My arms in general are the slowest. Everything else is moderate. Legs grow quick !

Calves grow like weeds??? Can I borrow your lower leg genetics for just a few months please???

 

[caangelxox]

hardest muscle to build - triceps (whenever I try to do more than 8 pound dumbbell with overhead tricep extensions, my elbow cant take it wanting to give out on me and make me stop).

easiest muscle to build - trapezius unfortunately, those muscles get tight after everything I do even if I focus on shoulders down on back. I hate the upper trapezius muscles with a passion

hardest muscle to get flexible - hamstrings. no matter what I try, flexiblility wont improve. and when I even try to stretch my hamstrings, performance is diminished and I feel slower...so I learned to leave this muscle alone when stretching

easiest muscle to stretch & get flexible - hip flexors

calves do grow easy, they are bigger than when they were before I went on a 5 day trip to vegas with family for christmas. probably from a lot of walking. There is no other way they could have gotten bigger. I do not even weightrain them. How I noticed is putting on my warm comfy boots with zippers on the side today and having to adjust.

Yep...I'm jealous!

 

[pcity1980]

My chest grows the easiest for me but my back seems to be hardest..

 

[OneWheyOrAnother]

I used to think my arms were the hardest, and I still agree they are the slowest to grow, but I wouldn't say the hardest. I have found that reducing the amount of training I am doing on arms is actually speeding up their growth.

So if you want to say "hardest" to build, I would say legs. My legs grow like weeds, but they require the most effort from the lifter in order to stimulate growth. I always feel like puking after a leg workout

My quads and calves jump up in weight almost every work out though.

 

[240PLUS]

Damn Bicepts...all heads. I currently have like a half of a head.

 

[Arnold]

for me:
easiest = chest & quads
hardest = arms & hams

 

[TooOld]

Calves are by far the hardest to grow for me due to genetics and and old injury that was before physical therapy during recovery was the norm.

I have to be careful with my traps while training shoulders as they grow so easy in size and strength they tend to take over if I'm not careful with form.

 

[acarroll7715]

Hardest - increase chest size and visible abs

Easiest - lats, shoulders, calfs, tri's and bi's.

 

[ALBOB]

Legs. I am cursed with chicken legs.

What Doublebase said.

Easiest is traps. I can't even do deadlifts anymore because my traps get too big. I've never done a direct trap movement in my life and have better traps than most of the guys in my gym.

 

[BIGBLUECHEVELLE]

Legs/calves is the hardest I can squat a damn truck and my calves are still not up to par with the rest of my body.

Easiest probably shoulder/tri
