Every guy I know has at least one muscle group that isn’t as responsive to their normal workout routines as are the rest of their body parts. Maybe your arms or your shoulders or your chest aren’t growing as quickly as the rest of your body…

Guys it happens alright and it probably isn’t because you’re not working out hard enough and probably has a lot more to do with your not targeting and focusing enough on that particular body part. Probably the worst thing you can do is increase the work load of your workout routines for that body part.

I say that because most of the time guys are concerned about their a.) chest b.) arms or c.) shoulders not growing fast enough and these are all small muscle groups and when you increase their work load you are subjecting them to possible over training. You don’t want to do that because your muscles will begin to shrink instead of grow.

What you want to is begin your workouts with that muscle group.

All too often I see a guy who has biceps that he’s not happy with and of course he’s only hitting his biceps once a week and only after he does 12-18 sets for his back.

Does this sound familiar?

Working out your biceps after your back is quite normal in most bodybuilding workout routines but what you have to remember is that if your biceps start to lag behind your other muscle groups, you should probably move them to the beginning of your workout until they start to “catch up” with the rest of your body. You don’t want to be that guy that has a huge back a huge chest and then pencil thin arms do you?

Of course not and the best way to attack a lagging body part is by moving your lagging body parts to the beginning of your workout routines.
