Catching a weak point

Weak point

It is quite simply a muscle behind the other and break the line. Ie at first glance it appears that the practitioner is less developed here compared to his other muscles.

 

This may be in large parts of the body like legs surmounted by a fine big top (diagram we see too often in the rooms), on sets of muscle groups as a good bust and no arms or good legs and no calves, on protagonists-antagonists muscles (quadriceps / hamstrings, chest / back, biceps / triceps ...) or, and here it becomes finer, the different parts of a single muscle : for example the biceps developed within arm but on the outside curve (long stretch) or a low chest high but well rounded all flat.

The causes of weaknesses

Several causes are possible, but must first distinguish a real weak spot a fake. And yes, if you do not have legs, but you do not train it is not a weak point in either! It is simply the nature of the human body adapts to stimuli received, and no stimulation to drive not equal muscle growth.You may have already experienced this personally or have known someone in your life who after joint injury was seen wearing a cast for several weeks.

 As we took away the area immobilized atrophied, which is the most perfect example.If your weakness is due to a lack of training, do not worry it is easier to correct. Just take care of the weakest work priority, such as early stage or sitting when you're the fittest, progress should not delay!By cons, if you are in the case of muscles worked regularly, so here we are dealing with a real weak point, which does not react properly to the drive. Start by analyzing your training. 

 Here are some thoughts to help you: do you work in the area late too often and as hard as the rest of the body? Feel the muscle work? What training method do you use it and is it the same as other muscles? In long series? Strength? Racing or partial? Etc ... In short THINK!But the cause may be genetic. Here the list can be very long, but include bulk: a muscle insertions little benefit, which can give a short muscle, with little hard because of the lever arms disadvantageous a significant percentage of type I muscle fibers (fibers called endurance limited potential for hypertrophy), poor irriguation nervous etc ...

Solutions to implement

If you do not feel the muscle working, the most important change that. Priority is muscular sensation to feel the area and worked to push muscular failure. On the other hand, you've probably noticed that your strengths react very quickly to training. In some series congestion and muscle fatigue are there and we feel even better work. The goal is that the same is true for your weaknesses.

At first you apply to make series lighter and longer for the technical implementation as perfect as possible. Concentrate up to feel the area worked with a rather slow pace of implementation and voltage. Force like a madman, taking the momentum is going to help you! Your new way to help develop a motor pattern, ie one mind-muscle finer and efficiently.Pre-fatigue is also a good solution.

 Not felt in the chest bench? No problem, do an isolation exercise to start, eg with dumbbells apart and chain series with the bench immediately. Your chest will already exhausted and other stabilizing muscles synergistic and smaller (anterior deltoids, triceps) will not be the limiting factor and your chest will go to failure! 

Electrostimulation may also be considered although expensive at the hardware level (count 500 to 600 euros for a powerful stimulator) and complicated to implement.The most important thing is that all the muscles of the body are different, so what works for some will not work for others. 

You have a weak point, ok no problem training will be focused on! But not to go into overtraining, reduce the strengths in the work to a minimum and matraquez your weaknesses. The fact that under certain muscles will cause your body to be able to focus more fully on the weak points further worked. You will not lose your strengths, they just stagnerons but when the delay will be filled, and rework the normally 2-3 weeks, they will be at the top. 

The important thing is to be aware of its weaknesses and strive to catch up to get a physical and aesthetic most comprehensive possible, this course according to your desires. Your body is your topic, your tools are rest, nutrition and training, be your own sculptor. -->
