Most neglected muscle
What do you think is the most commonly forgotten or least trained muscle? I would definately say hamstrings or rear delts. I mean, how many threads do you see with a question regarding hamstrings. Personally, I usually only have time for like 5 sets tops for hammies.

I would say a tie between hammies and tri's. If you are a newbie that is. Cause u always get the gys who work there beach muscle. i.e: Chest, abs and Biceps. And then the people who dont train legs at alll.
The desire to attain "perfection" is a mental poison. Perfection is a fictitious concept, there is only improvement. Therein lies the challenge, therein lies the fun.

I would probably say forearms, traps, and lower back. I myself fall victim to the lower back...I never work it that often.

Hams traps and legs
Being all that I can be is simply not good enough. I will be better.
Body building is 40% lifting, 40% diet and 40% sleep. And it's always going to be 120% dedication.
Power lifters eat to help them lift.

If we're talking about the teen board, then I would say Legs in general. If we're talking about newbies, then I'd say triceps. But if we're talking about seasoned bodybuilders so to speak, then probably forearms are the most neglected.
You don't deadlift?Originally posted by Bassist66

I do deadlift occasionally (i've begun to throw them in there), just not with the usual football program our coach makes us do. Deadlifts aren't part of it for some reason or other (maybe cuz we can do cleans or whatever). Once I heard that deadlifts are great for building lower back, I'll throw them in when at home or at the AOL gym.Originally posted by Davesta

Hams and Forearms are at least worked indirectly, calves really aren't at all.

In this order:
Forearms
Traps
Calves
HammiesIf they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, maybe they can do something with you.

Since squats are painful, I'm going to have to go with legs in general. They're no fun to train (IMO), but you must for good overall growth. There are some people at my gym (and I'm sure at yours too) who, if they decided to squat one day, you'd faint.

I believe that back-thickness exercises such as Bent Over Barbell Rows cover the rear delts well enough for most so I wouldn't say they are one of the most neglected muscles. That is, unless they don't even train back at all. Back to the subject, most neglected muscles are, not necessarily in order:
legs in general
lower back
