Triceps i think.
What are your weaknesses?
- Thread starter b fold the truth
- Start date
Weak points:
lower back / spinal erectors and front/side delts
i have neglected deadlifts and bentrow too much in the past cause i have talent for wide lats, they grow even from looking at other people doing chins...However this was fooling myself to believe I had a good back , until i saw somebody in the gym with wings AND huuuge spinal erectors / lower traps and a christmass tree in the lowerback..
Thickness is improving a lot now that i really focus on bent rows, but since my ankle injury is not completely healed yet, i still cannot do heavy deadlifts yet, but instead do light very controlled stldl for the time being.......
delts and traps , i guess it's partly biomechanics... I have a long neck and long arms and orignally a narrow torso... Most guys with great delts i see have short necks with huge traps, shorter arm and a broader torso , giving better leverage for heavy overhead presses.....
Also i suspect my front / side delts are red fibre, when i go swimming (swim sprints) during holidays, my front delts actually catch up in shape and size from this kind of heavy endurance work... Maybe i should train delts with high reps

Genuine weaknesses are:
Hip strength - work more bottom position very low squats, do more sled dragging.
Ham strength - start doing GM's with feet together
Bottom end strength in bench - I am terrible out of the bottom. Constantly hammer rotators, and front delts, and get faster faster faster
Things not really weak but definately room to improve:
Lockout strength on bench - everyone can use more. board presses, rack lockouts with tons of bands, anything heavy on triceps.
Bar speed - I am consitently the fastest in the meets I go to, but always need to be faster. Will improve this by not going heavy on speed days. Get faster faster faster. Watch the George Halbert video till I can repeat every line.

My rotator cuffs are aweful... Train the hell out of them until there is never any discomfort.. I think im dreaming...
My upper chest is and always has been lacking behind the rest of my chest... Hell... my whole chest could use a good couple extra inches... Hammer my pecs until next summer so that I will need a training bra.. hahah
My lats need serious work... My traps are quite large and seem to grow in leaps and bounds.. so my whole back isn't lacking... however, my lats are so damn small it makes me look like a bloody fridge... I'm gunna chin up and pull down my brains out until my lats stick so far out of my body I can't walk through doors without turning sideways.
Quads. My upper legs could use some work... I used to play hockey and lacrosse so I have a little above average quads... but bigger is always better...
Eat more protein... We have shitty food at my house... everybody is carb-oholics....
Those are the things I really need to work on.
