Everybody has (and wants to fix) stubborn, hard-to-develop bodyparts. For me, it’s shoulders, calves and biceps. For you, it may be chest and triceps or perhaps hamstrings and quadriceps. No matter what the bodypart, the solution to it remains the same: specialization.
This can be in the form of additional training volume and/or training frequency, i.e. do more sets for it and/or train it more often. Just like medical doctors specialize in certain areas of medicine, you will learn how to specialize on a particular bodypart and excel with it.
I’m going to show you a particular specialization program that I’ve found to be EXTREMELY useful for developing stubborn bodyparts. It’s not hard to do and it doesn’t take long to do but it has the potential to shatter plateaus in hard-to-develop bodyparts.
(Of course, you can also use it on strong muscle groups as well to really push them over the top!)
The name of the method is Daily Specialization and, as the name implies, it’s done on a daily basis. It’s very similar in concept to the “grease the groove” style of training by Pavel Tsatsouline.
why you shouldn”t skip your warm-up sets on heavy compound days
the truth about ”overtraining”: is it real or just poor recovery
why your strength is through the roof but your muscle size is the same
