 First question is from Mr. Dave OC. What are your tips and strategies for weak point improvement? Oh weak body parts or lagging body part improvement The first step you can take is to train it at the beginning of your workout That's if you're doing like a workout where you're training multiple body parts in a workout Or are you doing a full body workout? Which is what we typically recommend for most people just gets people the best results Train that body part first, even if it's a small body part even if it's your biceps or triceps or Hamstrings or calves hardest part is admitting you have a weakness. Am I right just step one admit Hit it first studies show that this actually works, and it's been done by bodybuilders forever well similar advice to that and is Worked for me when I started implementing this probably I don't know maybe ten years ago when I started to really sort of focus on weak body parts I think everybody is Consistent for a while falls off consistent falls. I mean common right very very common and The pattern that I would fall into early years or the first, you know decade of training is Fall off for a few days or a week or maybe a couple weeks or even a month and then when I start back up again I I don't go. Oh, what did I do last pick up right where I left off I always go start back at my favorite Of course muscle group and so what tends to happen is the the weak body parts your least favorite just get trained the least and so Part of it is just having that mental discipline of okay I'm gonna agree that if I fall off even for just a few days or a week and get back in the swing of things I'm not gonna pick up back right where I left off I'm gonna pick up Well my weak body part first and always start the week that way so if you're running like a split routine I'm starting the week always with my weak body part if I'm running a full body routine I'm always starting the workout with the weak body. Yeah, that's a more volume more frequency for the weaker body part Is a great strategy another one in this is a this is a This is one that you know, I actually I've done it a little bit in the past but Adam talked about it years ago on the podcast thought it was really smart Unilateral training or when you're training that body part that's weak Allow the weak body part to dictate the amount of reps you're gonna do so this is for people who have a weak body part that tends to be on one side so I have One shoulder one bicep one tricep doesn't match the other one work the weak one first allow that one to dictate the intensity For the other body part and then the the last one this one's my favorite Prime your body before you work out Oftentimes you have a body part that doesn't respond because you're not connecting well Enough to that body part like for example, let's say it's your chest. Well when I do Bench press it's not just my chest. I'm working. It's in my chest my shoulders my triceps And if my chest is weak then my shoulders my triceps will probably do more of the work But if I prime my chest properly and focus on feeling the chest and I can make the the bench press much more chest effective I find that most common with calves chest back. Yeah, those those those are the ones that if if you're already Prioritizing it right like and you're still struggling and still weak point There's a good chance that your your secondary muscles are taking over more the load and priming would could be a game-changer It's gonna be a discipline because nobody likes to focus on their weakness all the time and like it's it's a lot more like I'm always pulled into things that I'm more comfortable with and like I know I'm strong with I won't have a good workout My workout is gonna be good determining whether or not I feel like I was strong in that workout And I accomplished my goals for that But so it's a totally different mindset is to really put that in the forefront and and give it that kind of Attention that it needs and prime it and be diligent about consistency. Yeah, absolutely Consistency is a huge one with the body, which is you know one of the points that Adam brought here's the last one I'll say we talked about priming. I'll give you an example of a way you can prime a weak body part Now priming can and typically is very individualized So if you have maps prime follow the compass and do the priming that's best for your body That'll help but if you wanted some general advice try doing an isolation exercise for the weak body part first then go to the compound lift That's a form of priming that helps you feel the muscle or at least the target muscle. You're trying to work on You can also do isometrics and take it even a step further like and make a full workout around isometrics Which has great benefits to it and also like really puts that kind of attention to the recruitment process that it needs to even wake up
