    I've always had big calves even when I was little.  I personally never had trouble with them, which is funny because they seem to be a stubborn muscle for most people.I actually used to be embarrassed of how big my calves were when I was little now I embrace it haha.

    Same... my calves are low-inset (like Dorian Yates').  They fill out nicely.  People with higher-inset calves, much like high-inset forearms, have issues with that bodypart.Genetics.Cory

    For me it's shoulders, upper chest and the lateral head of my triceps. I swear, no matter how much I pound away with pressdowns and close-grip shit, my lateral triceps will just NOT grow, but my long head is very developed in comparison.

    Try pullovers or rolling tricep extensions.

    Chest, lats and rear delts. Although I've noticed some good lay development lately by throwing in some rows and chins every training day. Frequency is a fun thing to play with. My legs are huge. Partly, I think because they're so short (I'm 5'3 and all torso) Arms, traps and front delts are also pretty good. Although another 30lbs of meat on my frame would probably fix the problems.

    What rep-range?  The Lateral Head usually requires heavier poundages to get it to budge.  Try 5-8 rep range, and use intensifiers (like drop sets, rest-pause, etc.).The Long Head is a bit easier, and usually the rep-range of 8-10 works just fine.Cory

    I go to answer a question like this and then the little voice in my head that also says "stop b*tchin, squat more" says this to me.But honestly, my back is the only part of my body I'm "OK" with.  Everything else just needs more.  Or.  MOAR.  I guess.

    Genetics (well work and bicycling everywhere as a kid) gave me a decent chest and glutes but everything else sucks! (:

    Deep fucking squats, man!  That, combined with actively DL'ing (various forms), and I got some serious glutes happening.Cory

    How hard are you pushing outwards with your knees Mike? When I squat I envision "corkscrewing" my feet into the ground and spreading the floor apart aggressively.

    Actually go deep and keep the knees out and the rest takes care of itself. Theyll be firing like mofos. Ive recently started doing 1 1/4 Rep deep squats on my lighter warm up sets and they kill the glutes like no other. Also the quads get a bit of an extra beating too.
