OverHyped: Calves. Fat guys & gals usually have good calves with low attachments. So do dwarfs and short asians. Still a cool muscle to have but more about its "development" than shape. In fact shorter calves = do not look impressive until a B-Ball is dunked.
Most Important: Delts. Can't have delts without good genetics. The Epitom of a strong physique. No one question the stenght of a solid male with big delts. End of the story.

Chest or arms are the most important. Arnold had relatively poor shoulders and legs compared to his chest and arms.
-
I don't even train calves anymore.. i trained them for 1.5 years doing seated and standing calf raises for total of 8 sets. and after all that hardwork each week i barely could see a diffrence.
Calves = ALLLL genetics.
I saw a 50 year old asian guy walking around the gym with better calves than me and other than that he looked like shit.

Alex what is your routine for Delts?

...he had bottleneck like shoulders too and relatively narrow once his back faded.
point is: delts = key to giving a physique a powerful male display.
-
Alex what is your routine for Delts?
Lateral raises and upright rows. That's it.

when fully clothed no other body part tells people you workout like delts

Early, are you saying it's inapropriate to pull up ones pants to show their "calves" and/or lift their shirt to simulate a face whiping to show their "abs" (oh brother) ???

Imo the key muscle to look powerfull while wearing clothes is your Neck, and i don't mean traps, i mean sternocleidomastoid and splenius.

X2. A set of solid sweet traps is also hard to miss.

A23=permabulker

Why do people make fucked up looks and always wanna do fucked up dumb shit when they are taking pics or the camera is on them
Another one is `giving the finger` ::)
and btw, you should do upright rows against a wall , , i can see your doing it in a way thats targeting your traps to much
-
A23=permabulker=fat euro trucker like appearance with fatboy arms AND NO AB SHOT EVER IN HIS LIFE

My delts and traps are way better than my calves too, but also much more fun and easier to train cos you can throw around big weights. This just means that delt = more fun, though, not super elite genetics or anything. Most regular gym rats are all chest and arms for the same reason, usually with some delts. Bothering to train calves is the test of someone who really wants to develop their body. If people trained them with the same enthusiasm as chest and shoulders they would no doubt actually have calve development, even with shitty genes.

Genetics=everything

good shoulder width and height is all you need.
-
X2. A set of solid sweet traps is also hard to miss.
X3. Fully clothed even the skinniest guy with natural shoulder width can appear to have good delts. Neck/traps there's no mistaking. As long as they're not accompanied by more than 1 chin!
-
how many inches measured around both delts is considered wide?
-
most important is chest by far
most overhyped is back
-
most overhyped is back
Blashemy! ;D
Why? ???
-
most important is chest by far
most overhyped is back
Back is biggest muscle group, so I can't really agree, kids start training chest and arms, then realise the whoile body is important, do you not think so?
-
Sounds like a lot of chicken legged bitches trying to make excuses for their girly calves.......
j/k, i'd ratehr have massive delts as opposed to massive calves. My delts seem to be coming along.....
-
Alex what is your routine for Delts?
Too much cake

only for 14-15 years old kids chest and biceps are the most important.. other than that I see the whole thread is stupid.. what is the meaning of "the most important part"??.. all parts are of course equally important.. how to compare the importance of the back to the importance of the chest for example?!.. this doesn’t make any sense!!.. not strange this thread has been created by fat alex ::)

delts and traps are the first thing to grow when someone is juicing so take enough juice and you will get big delts and traps, other parts may look small but delts are easy to grow with chemical assistance
its always funny when you see the skinny gym at teh gym take his first cycle and within a short period of time he's got new traps, delts and a good dboll bloat going on :D

what if your delts and traps are strong bodyparts without the juice?
with juice do they grow completely out of proportion compared to the rest of your body?

Nordic is right; Delt and traps for most people seems to have the most androgen receptors..

Chest is so overrated bodypart.
-

I think a factor also is that many dudes who juice really have no idea how to train correctly with mind/muscle connection so they overuse their delts on chest etc,,,
what would you say is your most obstinate bodypart to grow Alex?? I would say for myself its calves, although genetically I just have small calves. Chest used to be one of my worst but after learning how to flex it properly and carrying that over into training, it grew well.

Biceps... :-\ Allways been decent size but they just don't grow. Like you said I'm pretty sure it's a neuro connection "issue". The cells are there, just never got good control of that muscle..

Chest is so overrated bodypart.
Disagree.
It takes great effort to make the chest look proportional. Many people no matter how strong they are lack a good upper chest.

Agreed but Klaus mean overrated in term of look when "fully" developed.....
Shoulders prevail.
-
chest is overhyped
Unappreciated- Glutes
-
Matt C and Mike Arvilla are two good examples of guys with well developed shoulders with incredibly weak chest and arms. They look ridiculous and stupid. Not that Alex looks stupid because he's pretty proportional.
When Arnold started making movies his shoulders shrunk but the chest and arms stayed intact and he still had the powerful alpha male look.
-
I would like a huge full chest. I lack it.
But delts are good. Legs are poor but i dont care much for legs
-
lol based on the posts here there is absolutely no agreement on priority areas.
Smooth and round like the dork in the first two pics of the thread is a good goal-avoid that at all costs. :P
-

probably because you worry too much about "how" much you lift instead of what you're using to lift it
keep the ego at bay and work on flexing your chest and getting that mind/muscle connection going----also try some pre-exhaust on chest day

As expected no reply from her.... hahaha what a poser, unable to show his face on here after years and years of Imposter.

It seems these days all BBs have massive delts, which often make their arms look smaller than they are. I used to have no delts, but after years of heavy dumbell presses amongst other things, they have become a strong point. Which makes me think that I was not genetically gifted yet still built them up. Calves are harder to build, and it's rarer and more exceptional if someone has big calves. For some reason I just can;t be arsed to train them though, but only out of laziness, not because I'm convinced myself that heavy presses are somehow linked to being genetically amazing, when in reality chest and shoulders are just easier and more fun to train. That's why everyone has good shoulders and no-one has good calves. Case closed.
-
no, most can build a reasonable chest/delts but only a few can build huge calves, specially tall people.
