What are your best and worst body parts?

If my body fat goes up there are areas that I get a little unhappy about - like my butt and tummy.

I always think my arms, back and shoulders look awesome!

My quads are probably the worst. I know I have them, I just wish they were more visible.

Best:Butt
Worst: I have wimpy noodles for arms. I'm working on it, though.

This is true. I'm pretty sure most of my body weight comes from the hips down. lol I'd still like to get back the point where I can do pull ups. I'm ok with noodles as long as their functional noodles. haha

Ahh yes functional noodles.. that is a goal we both share

I use https://symmetricstrength.com as a judge as I am more concerned with strength.

Best: lower body, lower back, traps, forearms
Mid: upper back, biceps
Worst: chest, shoulders, triceps

This isn’t to say I am weak (very well may be case), just that my symmetry is off. Basically I am really good at pulls and squats, while not very good at pressing.

I just clicked the link and was instantly embarrassed by my numbers.

I don’t use it to judge strength just how balanced the little strength I have is.

I am just curious what some people weak points and strong points are. Mine are below.

Best: Shoulders, Calves
Worst: Biceps, Abs

Shoulders are my strong points because of my bone structure (long clavicles) although they don't necessarily grow faster than my other muscles. Although I am above average weight, my calves insertions are pretty low. Taller people usually have longer Achilles tendon, therefore high calves and less room for growth. I trained my calves only a few times in 5 years, I probably can count the number of my calves training session with my fingers, but they grew more than my biceps.

Biceps, short bellies and no peak, not much to say here, just piss poor. My abs are very stubborn, I need to do heavy ab pulldowns and other weighted abs exercise to make my abs grow. Other people can just do bodyweight exercises and cut weight and their abs will be visible. Not in my case, I was skinny as hell before I started lifting but my abs weren't clearly visible.

Best: Quads and back
Worst: Abs and biceps

Working on getting glutes and hams on that *best* list

Best: Obliques*
Worst: Triceps


*I have years of dance to thank because they were the first muscles to show up to the party once I got serious about fitness again.

Per symmetry link, well, I'm weak (could have told you that LOL).

Upper body the best (no surprise), lower body the worst (again, no surprise).

Rehabbing from injuries SUCKS.

That is all.

In that case, I'm pretty much balanced with a stronger back.

Attempting to get more balanced but not as easy as it sounds. My main issue is that bench is only a small part of a meet total. I try to prioritize the upper body but not slack on the lower body. This has turned into an upper/lower split that upper body is always done after a day of rest so I have less fatigue. It's working but really slow. Maybe at my 2-year mark I'll have a bench I am not ashamed of.

My arms are always awesome. no matter how chubby I get.

My legs are very short and the backs of my thighs are genetically prone to cellulite, and the MINUTE I slack on my diet/cardio, that's where any extra weight goes, in all its cottage cheese-y glory. -_-

why concentrate on either and just be the best you in you

Best - everything above my belly button looks okay
Worst - roll under belly button, saggy butt, floppy cottage cheese thighs. But my feet look good!

Ugh. I continue to slowly (S-L-O-W-L-Y) improve at the speed of a glacier.

I just wish my thing was a little bit bigger.

I'm 46 so I have to put that into the equation. I wish my calves were a bit bigger, but honestly I have a really good body to work with once the fat begins to drain away. Even though I have all this tendinitis, I still like my petite frame. I don't need big muscles to look good - I just need to be toned and tight and I'm slowly heading in that direction. My quads easily grow and I am definitely quad dominate. I would like to tone up my glutes and hamstrings more and more as time goes on. I would like to continue to tone up my back as well and lose some of those fat pockets on there. So just continuing to eat more and more nutritiously is key for me. Adding plyometrics slowly as well. As I've aged, I've lost the jumping motion and I would love to get that back safely. I used to hate my belly, but I am beginning to love my belly more and more each day. I've learned how important core is and I have added that to my workouts after reading a core anatomy book am I more armed with what the heck I am doing!
