Ladies what are your lagging bodyparts.......

[RottenWillow]

and what is your training approach for dealing with them?



clearly my lagging areas are my arms and shoulders. Over the last 15 months I've found I have to very carefully cycle my training intensity for these areas to find the thin line between stagnation and overtraining. Right now I train arms 1x weekly only. Workout #1 I've been doing heavy weights, low volume then Workout #2 I drop the poundage by 10-12% and bump reps to the 10 to 13 range and increase total sets. This seems to have restarted my arm gains. I am using the same basic approach for shoulders with similar success. I believe my premature plateau in these areas was due to overtraining. I neglected to consider the subtantial training effect on these areas from bench and back work.


Let's hear from you guys.

Back back back. I think the only reason it is my lagging part is because anytime I'm going to have to skip a workout I always skip my back routine and its really starting to add up. I've been trying to concentrate on weak point training over the past month though. Another lagging part is my rear delts. I can't really complain because my lagging parts are only lagging because I neglect them.

Hey anya where are those pics of your legs I requested? Or do you already have pics in the members forum.

I used to think it was my glute/ham tie-in. Actually my trouble was that really I had no glutes or hams TO tie in. Since I've really been working on those, it's a lot better. My calves and tris are on the stubborn side too. Seems like I can beat the shit out of them, but they take their merry time.

Bless your heart. LOL. I got plenty of glute and hammie to trade if you have any extra delt laying around.

By the way this is not sexually related in any way but I really wanted to see a women's legs that squats 345lbs. Didn't mean to interrupt the post.

My back is my best part -- if the pic is still in my gallery I think I have some pretty good definition there........

But anyway -- right under my butt where my legs are I have these saddlebags near the back that just are THERE. I hate it!! I checked with a plastic surgeon who told me it was all loose skin......I guess I'm stuck with it....yuck!

Same here. We are the back-challenged. (but it's our own fault too!)

Most women its going to be arms and shoulders, they just arent usually well developed in women. Many will have good quads and glutes

Strength - back, it looks well developed but is very weak.
Leaness - upper body esp. abs.I put on most weight around my middle.chest and shoulders are well developed and defined but my middle is rather soft.
Size - err nothing, I put on weight easily.
