Hi,
As a beginner I've observed that my back, lower back esp., and arms are very week.
How can I spot all the weak points in my body and then focus on them?
Thanks.

You could generally incorporate more compound lifts into your routine. I’ve noticed that when I was beginning, and through observing other beginners they all tend to do far too many isolation exercises.
Maybe it’s because they get a better mind-muscle connection and figure that it’s working, they could be intimidated from compound lifts or something don’t know better. Hit the big three and keep at it.

I found my back and shoulders responded well while my chest and arms sucked. So I started doing presses first in every upper body workout and I increased the frequency of dips and chins. Now those areas have had a chance to catch up. You get the idea.

Calm down, man. It’s all good. I meant squats, deadlifts and bench. It’s also good to get in military presses, barbell rows and other compound exercises.
Like the name implies, it incorporates far more muscle fibers than simple isolated exercises. And should prove to be far more effective as well, even if you’re training the same parts.

For the record I could count on one hand the number of people I've seen doing chinups in the past month so if you have to use a machine for a while, don't feel like you're committing a crime as some might want you to believe. I started out with the lat pulldown and it got the job done until I moved on to the better exercise.
