Bodybuilding: Over The Edge

The old saying “your only as strong as your weakest link” should mean a lot to bodybuilders. If your like the rest of us, with a particular lagging body part, then that could be a contributing factor from a bigger & better YOU.

There’s sometimes genetic reasons for a lagging body part, sometimes a habitual reason (such as avoiding training certain body parts as hard as others). Sometimes both genetic & habitual. Sometimes there’s a different reason all together. Either way, let’s get working on bringging that body up to parr with your best features!

The bad news is that these things like everything else takes time. The very, very good news is that if you commit to a realistic plan of attack & put it into action, half of the work would have been done!

The first step is to determine which exercise is going to best give you the most bang for your buck! If your legs are lagging, then squats are definetly for you! If like a lot of people, the rear deltroids are a major weakness (because you can’t see them like the biceps or front deltroids), then rear delt rows are your best bet.

Now that you know what you need to do & why, the next point of call is to hit the iron. In Brian Tracy’s book Eat That Frog, he talks about getting a task done early on, so that it’s out of the way. The same principal can be applied here. Try hitting that body part early in the week! If you don’t enjoy training legs, then hit them on Monday to get them out of the way!
