How to FIX Lagging Body Parts | Seth Feroce

[@backwardsnyfit]

Seth is the best people's champion since Branch warren. Much respect brother!

[@juanpadilla3203]

All time favorite meathead

[@PaulBodyBuilder]

Watch ur mouth Sir. Lol

[@33crushman]

Absolutely lol

[@20joshblase]

Agreed. He’s the most transparent bodybuilder out there

[@justindykes1661]

At the beginning of your workout for your lagging body part, I like to do isometric holds for my first few sets, really helps get the blood to the muscle (as well as a great mind to muscle connection) For example: if your lagging body part is quads then try doing the leg extension machine for 3-5 sets of a 10 second hold at the top, followed by 10 consecutive reps. I hope someone finds this very helpful!

[@bane2256]

Will try. Thanks

[@mikopaq]

You mean don't just swing the weights with reckless abandon?😂😂😂 Yep, slow and controlled with holds is THE ONLY WAY

[@agnidas5816]

Still using what you teach. I keep seeing crazy progress still. My shoulders look crazy. Even my chest is growing for real instead of just getting stronger. Thank you, dude. I don't even need this video - I literally don't have a lagging body part issue anymore. Give it time people ... I don't even take TEST - just eat nutritarian style and do lots of cardio. The other side of having lagging parts is - find the parts which are not lagging and make it a freak factor. Enjoy it. Celebrate it. We push so hard to get better we can end up missing out on what we have. I spend more time studying nutrition, etc than training. Seth is the tops on youtube.

[@heynetalks]

Quads...... I've never had separation in my quads, so I begun hitting the bike every day as my warmup, and I started training just extension movements twice a week. One day heavy, one day volume. Within 8 weeks I had separation in my quads, and gained 1/2" on my circumference.

[@dapperdan7198]

I have started doing a warm up like pull-ups on back day, cable flys on chest day, cable should press machine on shoulder day and either leg extension or leg curl on leg day depending on it I want to focus more on hamstrings or quads for that leg day. Doing those warmups for 5-10 minutes before I start my workout has definitely changed the way my workouts go. I feel my mind muscle connection is 100x better for every workout.

[@seonl6339]

Thank you

[@Madchris8828]

I used to have crap biceps and followed a rule i made for myself. A rest Day was a day i nailed the crap out of my biceps. Enough sets with the same weight to where i could even get good partials in. Followed that for a month and suddenly my biceps were closing in on my triceps in size. Prioritization really DOES WORK

[@cussy77]

Shit i love Seth his enthusiasm and love for bodybuilding is amazing he always gets me motivated too go the gym

[@davidnorton2473]

Could you please do a video on arms lagging and what you would do to overcome this. Regards from England 🇬🇧

[@MadDawg420]

Seth might have the best attitude of any bodybuilder I've seen. Super positive, and not in a phony way

[@cptpotato0776]

Haven’t watched in a wile but love you buddy. This 50 something is still killing it in the gym and I don’t miss leg day. GO HARD OR GO HOME. 🇺🇸

[@waylonharper1126]

I've always preferred dumbbells rather than bench. I can feel my chest way more and i also noticed the older i got i could feel my chest way more after my shoulders were wore out so i started doing a little chest after shoulders.

[@TheCaffin8ed]

My favorite part of this video was the “don’t be a piece of shit”…that’s something people need to hear more of.

[@davidpenwell3432]

I was watching an older chest video and wanted to toss out an idea for an intensifer on a finisher you used. The smith machine ladder Push-ups. Put your feet on a bench and start with the bar up high and as you go down you can go even lower on the settings for an extra level or 2. Or even feet on a Swiss ball to really activate the core a little more. Just an idea

[@fifis101]

Some cracking good advice Seth! Who doesn't love some a good whiteboard session!

[@tylerwest8291]

We need a day in the life in depth vid!

[@alanfeuer6337]

Added an extra arm day including shoulders and now I do 3 exercises of each biceps triceps and shoulders for 3 working sets twice a week. Slow eccentrics and once a week end with Feroce drop. Less is more - 60 year old vet from Astoria NY.

[@vincegraves1176]

Seth Foroce GONNA GIVE IT TO HER 💪

[@Madchris8828]

Not kidding when I say that I think Seth is easily the best teacher for general knowledge and how to actually be successful build yourself. He is so clear and concise while keeping his humor in it to keep you listening. Thank you Seth you are a tremendous help 👏 🙏

[@chrisnunn8437]

Lagging body part is chest. Currently hitting it 3x a week and making it a priority. Only thing I would add to Seth’s method is try to do the lagging body part the day after rest day if possible. Here’s my current split Monday:Chest and Tri Tuesday:Rest Wednesday:Chest and Shoulders Thursday:Back and Bi Friday:Rest Saturday:Chest and Shoulders Sunday:Legs Increase sets each week until you’re able to reach your weekly maximum volume then deload. Pick 2-4 movements for each body part.

[@freddyco2868]

Great video and explanation! I would like to see that video about 1 side lagging. Like 1 Lat being half an inch to a full inch difference. It's very noticeable lol

[@IronAlchemist17]

Thanks for the video Seth! My chest always lagged. Was shoulder dominant like you mentioned. Stumbled across Big Mike Van Wycks channel, his cues for pressing has changed my chest development tremendously. Highly recommend.

[@josephmccarty9090]

Focused more on feeling the weight rather than just adding weight for my lats. Intercostals and lats from the front were so tiny, now they’re just small but can’t go broke making a profit 💪🏻

[@davehoyt8965]

I needed another inch on my arms to bring them up to the rest of me. 5'11", 275 @ 15% at that time. My arm day went to dips/curls, no rest, non stop superset for 30 min to failure adjusting weights as needed (dropping). Switch to a different bi/tri movement and continue supersetting for another 30 min. I was told, forget the pain, the lactic acid, block it out and push through it. Also bumped protein from 300 to 400g a day. I got that inch on my arms in 5-6 weeks. The intensity above and beyond what even i was used to already was the biggest factor along with nutrition additions Exactly as Seth said

[@seanc.466]

Your energy is awesome man! Very inspiring! I'm an intermediate getting back to the gym with my primary focus on leg development (because I skipped the f*ck out of them back when I was in the gym regularly). It's ironic that a lot of guys skip legs, and you also skipped talking about Legs, which was the last bullet point on the meathead 101 list. 😅✌️💪

[@AZ-gs6hj]

Very helpful video Seth. Thank you for doing this. I don't know if you did a video like this on dieting, but one would be helpful if not. I'm curious when doing a contest prep, do you think that carb cycling yields similar results to a standard reduction of carbs throughout the length of the prep?

[@jebby8372]

4:48 i really felt that hard. Been lifting for years and this gives me the greatest joy finally figuring things out

[@chrisbriggs9418]

What you said about finally figuring it out and like fuck ya is sooooo true!!

[@NDemanuele1]

This is a great video as usual! What if one side is bigger than the other? For example, one of my calves is probably over an inch smaller than the other. Now, I've heard people suggest to do a few extra sets on the one that's lagging. But I don't think this helps. I think you have to blitz it every day or at least every time you workout? I'm sure Seth has some hacks for this! Thanks!

[@itllkeal]

I was told to start the exercise on the weaker side and end it on the weaker side that eventually the weaker side would catch up

[@JacobBeaupre-p1l]

I love this shitt make me want to go to the gym every single day you have inspired me to become a better version of myself keep up the good work

[@matlock3750]

I really have one lacking body part and I don't think this video helps that. Great video honestly can't believe this is free, hard to pick a section I need to focus on. I want bigger everything, will definitely incorporate this with my training.

[@RedfishCarolina]

Lacking? By brother I sure hope you are lagging and not lacking.

[@toddtoddler9963]

All time favorite teacher

[@Vicexd2070]

I do a PPL program, so, everytime i want to grow/develop a part of my body that it is lagging (which is usually the chest, thanks genetics), i will do most of my push days starting with the chest and maybe do one more set of the accessory movements for it, along with focusing on the muscle itself.

[@Ollie-s7x]

Definitely going to try pre exhausting my chest on cable flies. It’s so behind my shoulders

[@raider1628]

awesome video man!!! hey seth were you using log books to track your weight?

[@yardvarkslawncare7866]

Wow. So impressive. Frigin beast mode

[@randabuffer6562]

Much gained respect from me how Greg handled that. 😎

[@BBandBS]

Great video! I’m a young aspiring juice head that loves pounding iron!

[@robertmoore6881]

About to add pull-ups and dab rows to my arm day with some extra carbs to see if I can stimulate the back a bit more

[@victoriaND]

Please make the video about how to fix asymmetrical body parts.

[@gordon12121212]

Great stuff. I like how you deviated from your bro split. I am a firm believer that mixing up your workout routine is a good way to break through plateus

[@andrewcouture]

FUCK YEA!!! This is the video I needed

[@CR-ol5rr]

F yeah. I had difficulties growing my ...haha NO...left biceps . I had an ijury...I tried but everytime i was going a little heavier the pain was kicking in. I gave up for a while..then i started getting some vitamins and now it got alot better but i still wormup alot more than i do for my other arm , just because i'm scared to not f up again. So yeah, priority in training , worming up longer take your vitamins and get back in the game. Luv ya Seth❤

[@frankstone1011]

Love and respect brother. Thank you

[@alfredspiff400]

Great content!!! you went in-depth about pre-exhausting the pecs like flies and lighter weight before you start lifting for better activation and I know your legs wasn’t a lbp clearly lol but can you go in depth how I can feel the hamstrings better or just grow overall massive tree trunks 😁

[@luckeyboy33]

F**k Yeah! Needed this info!

[@NyashaM]

Surprised no one mentioned lagging calves or legs

[@ryanelledge8496]

For me to finally figure out how to feel the chest it took training with powerlifters and learning how to squeeze the shoulder blades together then as the great Ed Coan described tucking them in your back pockets, and low and behold I actually felt my chest engage as long as I held that position, and bam my chest grew. It was a weaker position in the beginning but then the strength and size blew up.

[@smarty-br8og]

Exactly. If you don't bring the shoulder blades and thus the shoulders back, it's more likely that the shoulders will take over and then chest gets very little development...

[@WrestlingWithSpirits]

My problem area is my chest. My shoulders always take over during my presses. I’ve dropped the weight and I’m finally starting to get the mind muscle connection but I need help making a good split to hit chest more. Thanks for the help!

[@kodyjames]

Love this thanks Seth! 💪🏼

[@steepcreek8914]

Thank you for the advice on chest development. My front delts are retarded and steal all work from my chest, no matter what angle I hit my chest in. I will try the light flies first for a while. Thanks for that concept.

[@AbdullPebzman]

Fly tip really does help because u pre fatigue u get good pump and if u take it slow on the reps and try and imagine the muscle fibres stretching like before u blow a balloon up soon as u press boom chest just pops my chest got some seriously developing happening right now great tip

[@adammac4960]

My back is the worst. I find going light and doing more reps helps like. If I go heavy my biceps start to take over which is so frustrating. I’ve ordered some straps which might help but it is frustrating when there’s literally only two types of exercise where I can feel connection with. And it only works on so much weight.

[@salfetka]

Instead of "everhthing is growi g but...", I am at the point of "nothing is growing" what do i do? More calories? But dont want to get fat 😢

[@dude1393]

I have traps but I have flat biceps. I have somewhat think thighs but runner legs. I unfortunately broke my shoulder several years so I can’t lift super heavy weights. I am 46 years old 5’11 between 160 to 165

[@jb1..]

I have 1 leg that's growing at twice as fast as the other, would love to hear your thoughts on this!

[@Chapsu911]

do one-legged movements. Doesn't matter if it's leg extensions, curls or bulgarian split squats

[@GymJones865]

Unilateral work.

[@agnidas5816]

you got an impingement in one side. Get an adjustment from a sports specialist then do band work everyday to improve signalling and bloodflow.

[@fullyawakeloyah8844]

Every workout I do HIT heavy duty and then rest and I’ve seen great growth give it your all in your workout and rest long enough to let the muscle repair and grow Huge respect to Seth he’s one hard working MF

[@odellcoho]

Awesome 👍, Thanks 💪🔥

[@derrickscott28081]

Awesome video ! Thanks

[@shakur144]

Great video seth! 💪

[@pjcpretorius]

Just love this dude!

[@girardanthonyong6938]

Thank you!!!!! Be blessed!!! My biceps is. Always behind and now i got the answer!!!

[@mikopaq]

The answer from Seth is... more/better drugs.

[@dmbellum7312]

I do something similar but as I cycle my exercises every 4th day, if they feel ok I do enough to get a pump to get them use to working at random times, couple of light sets so it doesnt effect my main day for said body part.

[@isaacsanchez7171]

Seth love the content….i working out legs two times a week….what do u recommend for massive legs??

[@YahikoTG]

Starting from 0 with the right technique, right muscle connection and increasing the weight week by week without sacrificing the technique.

[@SajidHajjaj-cf5gk]

My upper chest and arms are not growing well i added apper chest on shoulder day but arm are driving me crazy i train them they get pumped and good but once i leave the gym like nothing happened

[@alexmcday1801]

More specifically what about if say lower chest is lagging, upper chest is descent bit lower chest sucks.

[@johnsandoval1855]

Hey Seth, or anyone paying attention, I have question about the prioritization method you mentioned. I would love to do something similar with my back but noticed 16:35 that you have legs and back right next to eachother. I’ve heard this is not the best approach for your nervous system fatigue or recovery on both parts. Did you experience this? How did you handle this?

[@lukeydukey20]

Seth’s only weak body part is his height 😂

[@diegorodrigueztrigas4148]

Man im not even close to train like a bodybuilder... I train MMA and kickboxing but your videos are inspiring Bro! Great energy

[@mikopaq]

It's ALL DRUGS

[@TheeRealRg3]

Triceps always get thick but not good definition

[@Praise_YHWH_]

I love working out

[@chrisscarpchronicles1497]

Another great video

[@antonyread5595]

Seth with blue collar breakdown.

[@ryancostilow]

My left lat isn't as thick as my right lat. bothers the hell out of me.

[@TreyReeves-z5f]

What are some specific workouts for building the upper chest to give me that shelf if my shoulders are the more dominant body part. And what would be your recommendation on sets & reps?

[@Jarvik]

I guess my entire body is laggin, kidding. Thanks, Seth for this! I've always had trouble D: but this will help in the future thank you!

[@calabreze1378]

Bicep tendinitis is kicking my ass, left arm just doesnt let me do pullups and wide grip pulldowns. Hoping it clears up but its been nearly a year. Lucky me my back is dominant body part but i know i could be so much wider

[@SortoMario89]

With great thickness comes great responsibility!!!

[@craig4867]

Steve Reeves and Gordon Scott have the ultimate physiques! They never used steroids like this guy!

[@danielmurcott4564]

My lagging bodypart is the part of my body that makes me have a chronic disease, also can't really work that bodypart haha. That being said I shouldn't watch your videos at 8pm as now instead of rest I want to go to the gym and train like a madman!

[@bobnoxious719]

What if all your body parts are lagging? LOL I do 4 days on, 1 off. Back, chest, legs and shoulders, arms, off, repeat. My legs are super easy to train due to injuries so not a lot of exercises or weight so more emphasis on shoulders, which are injured too. I'm all busted up due to living.

[@GymJones865]

I agree on pull-ups being the best back exercise. I’ve been doing 50-60 pull-ups at the beginning of my back workouts, instead of pull-down, and have added width to my lats. Also put size in my biceps.

[@mikopaq]

WRONG! Bent over barbell rows are the granddaddy of back development then a far tie for second are pulldowns and pullups. Seth is nothing but a wanna be...never made it far because he didn't want to put in the work. His back is great example.

[@roadto200kgdeadlift]

@@mikopaqnah Seth is the real deal💪🏽

[@GymJones865]

@@mikopaq Different strokes for different folks. I’m glad barbell rows are working out for you. As far as Seth being a wanna be, he’s an IFBB pro. Are you? If not, that would make you the wanna be.

[@mikopaq]

@@roadto200kgdeadlift He's a Drug Deal gone bad.

[@mikopaq]

@@GymJones865 Wrong again son. I hold Pro Cards in two different organizations. No big deal, Pro Cards are a dime a dozen nowadays. To do as much drugs as he does just to get an audience on KZbin is really sad. If you don't swear by bent over rows then you've never done them, at least not correctly. It is THE ONLY back exercise for complete back thickness and width.

This intro fucks hell yeah 🤘🏽

[@fortierdesign]

Changing routine, and type of exercices. My biceps were lagging, I tried chin ups, but focusing on biceps squeezing. I took that exercice because if you look at male gymnast there arms are just fkg ripped and huge, all they do is mf chin ups targetting biceps

On day 16 you would do back and take off on day17 then start over. That would only give you 1 day off before you train back again?
