4 Tips on how to Improve a Lagging Muscle Group

At last! If you want to improve a lagging muscle group you
have come to the right place. Imagine, in just 6 weeks from
now you will see visual physical muscle improvement!

After talking to clients about his or her wants, needs, and
concerns, I find a great deal of lifters are unhappy with
at least one, if not more, muscle groups. This can be
anything from underdeveloped hamstrings to poor symmetry
and proportion. One of the most sought after goals in
female bodybuilding is improving a lagging muscle group.

If you, too, are in mass confusion on how to get a
beautifully shaped and balanced physique, you are about to
learn 4 tips on how to improve a lagging muscle group.

When you train, you should make each workout a plan to
improve rather than mindless iron slinging. The absolute
best way to improve your physique is to strengthen weakness
or imbalances.

When you improve an underdeveloped muscle group, you will
improve other lifts. For example, if you improve your
hamstrings your squats will improve. If you develop better
triceps you will improve your bench press.

Generally, if you have a muscle group lagging behind,
chances are you don't like to train it or you are
intimidated by it. An example of this is legs. How many
times have you seen someone's upper body well-developed,
only to look down and see a set of scrawny bird legs? This
is usually due to being intimidated by legs because to
build legs they require heavy squats. You can't build great
legs with just leg extensions and curls. You need the mass
builder and you need to hit it hard and heavy.

Tip #1 – Train your lagging muscle group at the beginning
of the week If you want to build that lagging muscle group
up to speed with the rest of your body you need to put it
at the beginning of the week when your motivation and
strength are at their peak.

Tip #2 – Train your lagging muscle group first in your
workout To build that lagging muscle group, put it at the
beginning of your workout if you have two or three body
parts grouped together. By putting your underdeveloped
muscle group at the beginning of your workout it will
ensure that it gets full attention, and all the strength
and focus you have.

Tip #3 – Start your lagging muscle group training with a
compound exercise To take full advantage of your workout to
improve that lagging muscle group, start your training off
with a compound exercise, a multi-joint exercise where all
the muscles and joints of that specific area are called
upon to execute the movement. Compound exercises are the
absolute best mass builders.

Tip #4 – Give your lagging muscle group a feeder workout
during the week To help boost that lagging muscle group
into new growth, add a feeder workout a day or two after
you train it.

A feeder workout is a short, high repetition workout a day
or two after your principal workout. It gives your lagging
muscle group supplementary stimulation without putting you
in overtraining mode.

A feeder workout is brief and simple, and focus should be
on doing one compound exercise with light weight using 2-3
sets of 20-30 repetitions.

You will find applying these 4 simple tips will
dramatically improve your lagging muscle groups and help
you create a well-developed and balanced physique.
