Because i’m not having issue building the rest of my body, the rest of it is being stimulated pretty well, but there are muscle groups like my traps that can take a lot more of a beating and deadlifts arent enough.
Forearms are getting stronger, but that’s not even total grip strength (open hand to close). Increasing my static holds arent enough to stimulate my forearms totally.
Neck, direct work is the only way to really get that bigger.
Abs, not enough stimulation from the big compounds. I think theyre over rated for strong abs, i don’t believe the valsalva maneuver is enough to build very thick abs and obliques.
fair enough. Personally I try and limit neck and trap work because it’ll make your shoulders look narrower. I thought I was a genius when I came up with this but it turns out that’s what the old school dudes like Arnie and Zane used to do (pretty sure Eyedentist talked about it once too).
But anyway: shrugs, leg raises and reverse curls. There you go. Doesn’t matter which workout you add them to. Do them every workout if you want.
Just read an article here today that contradicts that. I personally think the big movements will do the job given the weight goes high enough. How many power Lifters are there with small necks or forearms, or a weak grip ya know?
