    How to train our weakest part?

    My routine for the last couple of months was the following:

    Monday: Shoulders, traps
    Tuesday: Back, abs
    Wednesday: off
    Thursday: Legs, calves
    Friday: Chest, abs
    Saturday: off
    Sunday: Arms

    My weakest body part is my shoulders. My shoulders actually took a lot of size since I started training when I was younger but it's compared to my chest, arms and back that they look small. I always had small shoulders and my whole family has the same problem. So I want to know if I should add a day to my workout and do some shoulders or anything else but I need some opinions about it. thanks

    make your weakest body part your new favorite day! search for a million different things to do and rotate new workouts each week.

    be patient and they will grow

    Well, My shoulders are actually very strong and I LOVE training my shoulders but I was just wondering if I should do them twice a week or continue with 1 session a week.

    im the same way , my shoulders are my weak point espeacially compared to every other muscle group. i would say switch routines every 3 weeks. i find that better than every week. plus they say that in my peronal training class not too switch every week

    stay consistent for like 8 weeks with exercises/rep ranges... most likely genetics.. your also performing rear delts on back days so your not giving sufficient rest... and same for traps

    Couldnt he be doing some light side laterals and some presses after his chest workout as well? I see Branch Warren doing this to bring his shoulders up.

    i hit each muscle group twice a week 3 exercises each....i do this instead of doing flike 5 or 6 exercises for each muscle group so that when im working them i can hit them w/ a lot more intenisity during each exersice...also i do different 3 diff exercises for each muscle group the 2nd time i hit it in the week and it works for me really well

    ok example would be
    Monday
    chest
    shoulders
    tri's

    Tuesday
    back
    bis
    legs

    thursday
    chest
    shoulders
    tris

    friday
    back
    bis
    legs

    i use 3 exercises at 3 to 4 sets for each body part and say monday for chest i use barbell flat incline and decline then on thursday i would use dumbells...whatevery exersises i use for each body part on monday and tuesday i either do different exercises for that body part on thursday and friday or i use dumbells and change the amount of reps

    use wendesday saturday and sunday for rest and recovery and also for however many reps im trying to do i pick a weight so that when i get to the last rep im straining my ass off... and i either go up in weigh or reps for each exersice the following week so im forcing myself to get stronger and hopefully larger
