I've read a lot of guys complaining about different muscle groups being stubborn when it comes to putting on size and/or strength. I have been trying out a few new different things in the gym that might help some of you out with this.
Lets take M_18 for example with building ARMS. Do you work tris on the same day as chest? do you work bi's on the same day as back? If so then maybe switching to chest and bi's and back and tri's might help since you would be hitting your arms more frequently and less intensely(since back works bi's somewhat and chest works tri's somewhat, etc...). What about working bi's in with your leg workout. Whatever the case, if you are having difficulty building a specific area, try figuring out how frequently you are using that muscle group and then alter your workouts by increasing or decreasing the frequency of that muscle's use.
This concept of altering frequency works especially well when you've reached a plateau. Right now I am working out 3 days on and 3 days off, with my leg workout in the middle, giving my arms a day to rest between my chest/tri and back/bi days. After my day off, I sometimes switch days 1 and 3 (this is another way to continuosly change the frequency and confuse your body into growing more).
Whatever issues you may have, if something isnt getting you the results you want, try incrementing small changes. You might be suprised with the results!
Good Luck,
