Training Strategies For Lagging Body Parts

[guns01]

Tweetso what have you done in the past to bring up something that's lagging? arms is a whole different beast for most people and a lot of times they are training them to frequently but let's hear what your weak points and what you have done successfully and unsuccessfully to bring them up, or failed to bring them up.

myself. i have spent about the last year and half to 2 years working on improving my back. i train it 2x per week with a heavy day and the second session is more of a pump volume day with very little lower back work. the biggest thing that i have found in many years of trial and error is that feeling the muscle work and chasing the pump is far far more important than the amount of weight being used. lots of things like drop sets super sets and other techniques have been very effective for me. hell, it translates over to all the other body parts as well. work the stretch safely and focus on a minimum of a 1sec or longer contraction.

TweetGreat point guns. I will add I've been successful using a post training day pump on the body part that I did the day prior. Over training can happen really easy so I'd suggest sticking with this for 3-4 weeks then resting that type of training. I found this very effective for quads, biceps, back and rehab for chest.

you know it's funny you bring that up. i have talked to and seen a few different people doing that. you hammer the hell out of the muscle one day then come back the next and do a move or two with nothing more than pushing blood in and flushing it again the following day. some even say it helps to speed up recovery. i have also seen a guy or two do it to rehab lower back issues or sore tight lower backs with hypers reverse hypers and or good mornings
