What body part gets the most attention?

[HimRoid]

Arms get me the most comments.

 

[Zaykox]

arms for sure

 

[Elvia1023]

I train my calves 3-6 times per week.

My arms or shoulders get the most comments.

FACE

Because without it, nothing else really matters. Just like how we view women. Busted face, doesn't matter how great a body she has.

If your doing this for attention and you got a busted grill, you better off putting your time and efforts into making money, not building muscle. Muscle is just the cherry on top.

LOL same here. Legs is the body part I want to turn into a freaky body part.

As for what gets noticed the most, arms and shoulders (surprising as I am not the widest guy around)

“It is with our faces that we face the world, from the moment of birth to the moment of death.
Our age and our gender are printed on our faces. Our emotions, the open and instinctive
emotions that Darwin wrote about, as well as the hidden or repressed ones that Freud wrote
about, are displayed on our faces, along with our thoughts and intentions.

Though we may admire arms and legs, breasts and buttocks, it is the face, first and last, that is
judged “beautiful” in an aesthetic sense, “fine” or “distinguished” in a moral or intellectual sense.

And, crucially, it is by our faces that we can be recognized as individuals. Our faces bear the
stamp of our experiences and our character; at forty, it is said, a man has the face he deserves.”

- Oliver Sacks, “Face-blind”, The New Yorker, August 30, 2010

What makes the above quote in my opinion, most interesting is that Oliver Sacks suffered (don’t know if that is the right word) from prosopagnosia,
which is, essentially, face blindness.

Oliver Sacks as many might not know, he was no stranger to weight training. When he moved to Southern California “underwent a fierce regimen
of bodybuilding at Muscle Beach (for a time he held a California record, after he performed a full squat with 600 pounds across his shoulders), and
racked up more than 100,000 leather-clad miles on his motorcycle. And then one day he gave it all up—the drugs, the sex, the motorcycles, the
bodybuilding.”

Sadly, Oliver sacks died recently, 30 August 2015 (aged 82) in Manhattan, New York. I met and talked to Dr. Sacks on two separate occasions in
San Francisco, CA., when he was on book tour and was interviewed as a part of SF’s City Arts & Lectures series. I have read everything he has
published. He was the kindest, most intellectual, philosophical, gentle and loving soul I have ever met.

I know he will, but to be sure, I will say, may he rest in peace . . .

If you are huge, calves because you can see them in shorts. If you have huge calves, then you can assume the quads are probably good too.

At the beach,abs for sure

But I think it depends on the person and the proportion of that specific body part to your overall frame

wish my calves would grow. i have very small wrists and ankles, which makes my bis and quads look huge compared to my forearms and calves. been training calves at different weights and volumes 3x a week for about 6 months now, still not a ton of growth. they're veiny as fuck now though

Body parts

What ever your favorite body part is, that is the muscle group that probably needs the least work. If you don't like it _ it needs work

Me too. I agree with abs being noticed by women first.

 

[01dragonslayer]

I think I train my arms the most but I just can't em to grow like I want....:banghead:

 

[Eironman1521]

I'm usually very balanced, but I have to hit my back hard cause it seems to lag vs the rest of my body. My shoulders and chest kind of dominate everything.

 

[OutToLunch]

Hitting legs 3x week now.

Are they not sore when you train them from the previous workout though?

Iv alway thought you should not train a sore muscle

Training a ‘sore’ muscle will help to remove the soreness
better than not training it at all . . . assuming the soreness
was exercise induced.

It is painful but it works. I know it sounds counterintuitive,
but try it.

I have experimented with it after an absence from training.
Take bb curls for instance. I did db curls with one arm, and
nothing for the other. The arm that was exercised rather
rested felt less sore by a bunch. Very noticeable.

Muscle soreness as induced by exercise is not a very well
understood phenomena regardless of what people think.

Some exercises are capable of inducing great, if not
crippling soreness while other exercises (think leg extensions)
produce zero soreness. Interesting.

We know how to induce and how to mitigate ‘it' but we
don’t really know what actually gets sore as the actual
muscle does not have the type of nerves capable of
registering pain as witnessed when you do a deep
intramuscular injection. Once you break the skin, pushing
the needle in through the muscle is not painful, is smooth
as butter, painless, at least on me.

Could go on and on but don’t want to bore you . . . as this
subject, muscle soreness, is not without controversy and has
nothing to do with the original topic
