Need help for lacking body parts

I have 3 big problem areas and I'd like to know some exercises that might help bring them up.
1. Traps - I've been doing shrugs but they just don't cut it.
2. Delts - The front and rear heads are alright but the side isn't filling in at the top.
3. Chest - The inside upper region is seriously lacking.

Any help would be great.

Chest........
1. Begin your chest training with an incline bb press. My advice is, use a wide grip, because I bet your triceps are strong. Then do flat bb or db press.

2. Make sure to do incline flyes. They help with overall thickness.

3. I use the cable machine, and pull the handels together in front of my forehead, so the contraction is always at my upper pecs.

Traps...........
1. Use an alternate grip, and start with light ass weight holding the reps for no more than 1.5 seconds each. Bend over a little when doing them. Dont go too heavy. That is a VERY common mistake with shrugs. They work for everyone. BB is my favouriate. They should hurt for 2-3 days if you do them right. Chest hurts for 4-5 days. If it doesnt, change your routine because thta means they are not growing quickly enough.

Delts........

1. Do BB shoulder press free weights. Everything should be normally freeweights. Do lateral raises as well, upright rows, and rear laterals.

Do everything full range of motion. Genetics also decide what you will look like in the end.

Those are my opinions and advice.
 
traps blow up from uprigh rows barbell shrugs in front and behind and dumbell shrugs front and behind.. if your gym has a standing calf raise machine use it for shrugs.. it works wonders.. try doing one of each trap exercise or two of each each week
dont do bb shrugs week in and week out, youll never grow that way
delts fry them with cables on a low cable grab a handle and lateral raise away
upper chest incline bb and db presses and incline flyes
 
being sore is not an indicator fo growth..
you need heavy weights with good form to build size/strength..

The upper middle part of your chest that is lacking is genetic and it takes time to fill it in it wont happen overnite nor will it happen by using a "special" routine stressing inclines..yes inclines are good for your whole chest so are flats..

i would post up your routine..also there are some stickies aboive that you should look at

one is by Iron Addict with more than one sample routine
the other is by pullinbig its on page 6 of the thread titled "do deads thicken the waist"..
chances are its your routine and/or diet that is failing you..
 
bench and pull deads. you ever see a top pler with small traps, delts or chest? you wont. all those iso movements are crap for adding mass. compound heavy movements add the most mass. bar none.
 
could any1 tell me if this workout is ok?

benchpress
*warm up 10 reps
4 sets of 10
1 set of 6
1 set of 4
incline
4-5 sets of 6
hammer strengh wide bench machine 4 sets of 8
flys 4 sets of 8

BAR none. Thats a good one!! lol
 
Mate this is a foolproof routine for you r lagging parts, listen up:

For chest:

Start with cable flyes, which means put a bench on the middle of the cable station and use the lower cables and use them instead of the dumbells, its the only way you get stress in the inner part of the peck (that or peck deck machine but i prefer this excercise).
do 3 sets of 10 and hold for a couple of seconds at the top.
As in in one, hold 2 secs and do another one and hold. etc
Then id go for dumbell presses, flat and incline. 3 of 10 each and finish off with a cross over set of 20 reps.

Shoulders:
well separate it from the c hest day if oyu train them together since it may be putting too much stress on the delts and if you are lagging the medial head heres the drill.
Start with a superset of lateral raises (hold two secs each rep) with dumbell presses (vertical, well duh) , again 3 of 10 is the magic number.
And blast them with a final 3 sets of 8 static raises. Well its a pain to do but its surely worth it, its just grabbing a very light dumbell on each hand and mimic a lateral raise but hold it for 8 seconds, and lower it just before the waistline and go up again. Thats one rep, do 8 and rest around 50 secs to 1 min between the 3 sets. By the end of this your medial head must be pretty worked haha. You may have read this last excercise in the BBT.

And for traps use the smith machine for a mimic of barbell shrugs, the thing is you can lean back a bit if its more comfortable to you and prevents you from bouncing the weight up, its also great to superset with front raises.
depends on you.

Grow in peace

Fritz el magnifico!
