weak point training

Canadianguy · 23-11-2006, 06:24 PM

im not sure how u guys take care of ur 'slacking areas" but can anyone give me some advice for mine?

my chest and back have always been my most prominent body parts. my side and rear delts and somewhat my arms seem to lag behind. I have thickness in my shoulders and arms but i want more definiton, mainly 'rested", with a round look that im lacking in my delts.

My split atm is mon: chest/back tues: quads/hams Thurs: bis/tris Fri: shoulders/calves

i was thinking of maybe after chest and back , or during, of doing 3-4 sets for my side and rear delts of light, high rep sets and continue with my regualar shoulder routine on friday. Id like to see if this makes any diff.

can anyone suggest otherwise?

ok, well definition will come from having a lower body fat, which will be more to do with your cardio volume and diet.
if your shoulders are lagging it might be due to the fact that you are training them last in the week, whereas you might have more energy on a monday....also training tri's the day before shoulders will only hinder the amount you can lift(on the pressing movement).
maybe try doing shoulders on a monday and going with a new routine, what do you do now?

cheers.

my routines vary quite often, whether its the order i do the excercises or changing them altogether.

usually a press, then side and rear delts and prob a front lateral and then shrugs. But like i said not always in that order.

I have found that for some reason i do store fat there and it drives me nuts. ive been doing cardio 2-3 days a week + my warmups before weight training and weights 4 days a week. ive posted my diet up before and its pretty good. Fat seems to peel off everywhere else. I figured w/e ive been doing for the past couple yrs has "stopped" working, maybe trying this would tell me something.

Shoulders on mon sounds like a good idea, give priority to the muscle, ill try that aswell, thnx.
