    2013 WORST body part accountability thread....come on in!

    OK guys. We all know this site is filled with people who post flattering pictures of themselves but then a look through their profiles will show no leg shots. Or the guy with all the shots from the rear, but never one showing the midsection. You get the idea.

    This thread is the exact OPPOSITE. In it, I want people to call attention to their worst parts (post a pic if you like), and say what you hope to improve, and how you plan to do it. It is all about accountability.

    2013 will be a great year! What are you going to do with it?!

    I'll start. It is no secret what my worst bodypart is. I make no attempts to hide them....yes my calves.


    I took these tonight. A whopping 15 1/2". Seeing as ideal would match my arms....well, I have a way to go! I think they have good shape and definition, just are small. While I dont think they will ever be my best part, I really think I can improve them.








    OK....2013 goal. Hit 16"....maybe 16 1/4!

    How I am going to do it:
    I am going to work them 2 times a week with various movements. One focusing on facial stretching and one leg assisted negatives the other on raw power.


    We shall see....



    Post up guys...what do you plan to do for your worst parts?

    To fix it this year I'm tracking all my calories in FitDay, starting a workout journal on here, and am going to take photos and weigh every two weeks and use that to evaluate what I'm doing diet-wise in FitDay.

    And also...I won't forget to lift weights this year.

    My worst body part is my legs. They are the last to lean out.

    I am doing the only thing I CAN do. Continue to eat at a deficit, and have pateince. I'll get there.

    I have many to chose from but limiting it to one would have to be my midsection, particularly the love-handles. The plan: continue to maintain my nutrition plan and workout with intensity. Unfortunately, I'll probably wind up with an excess skin problem in which case I'll have to choose from a little love handle and excess skin. Once I get thin enough I'll have to see which scenario bothers me the most.

    What am I doing to change this? Nothing. I officially gave up. Nothing I do helps, so I'll just keep plugging along and hope size comes. I have shiit ass arm genetics, so I'm playing my cards accordingly

    I've always considered my worst area to be my back even though I rarely see it. To combat this "problem area" it is the first thing I hit for the week or after a vacation.

    Everything needs improving so I'm going to say I'd like to hit a solid and consistent 230Lbs at roughly the same bodyfat that I am today at 218Lbs.

    10-12Lbs of lean mass in a year, is it doable I don't know but I'll be working, eating and resting my ass off to see if I can do it.

    Abductors. Thighs look fine from the side, but from the front are baggy! I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, I veer between deciding on sticking to heavy squats and lunges and the adductors will come, or working them in isolation.

    I'm sure you've thought of this, but what are your Tri's like?
    The reason I ask is because my arms are 15.5" and my bicep is nowhere near as "peaky" as yours. Maybe working your Tri's would move the tape in the direction you're looking for....?

    You're right, I have a high insertion point giving me a decent peak. That's probably why I get away with having 16" arms on a 6'1" frame. Thanks Bill

    Yeah, notice in my original post, I didn't specify bicep or tricep. My biceps are decent and have a good peak; I have thought my biggest shortfall is the tricep....just like in my legs, my hamstrings (leg biceps) are the lag group. But truely, I need overall arm mass to be symmetrical. Maybe one day. Right now I'm having too much fun powerlifting to give a rats ass about my arm size. I have found it's useless to worry about it.....the minute I throw volume or intensity to upper arm isolation work, I get frickin tendonitis.

    He has 18.5" arms and 15.5" calves, so yes, he has some proportion issues.

    They should be about the same size.

    I'll grant you the proportions, if you go by the old ideal classic rules, however, his calves are 15.5 of separated hardness....I easily have 2 inches on him with my calves, but they are more like fatceps! LOL...

    I’m a bit out with 15” calves and 17” arms!
    But my weakest part is easily my neck, only 14.5” I guess a positive way of looking at it, it helps make my arms look even bigger due to the size difference.

    Tennis balls?...........my Biceps are as big as Grapefruits!
