I just think there is a large part of the bodybuilding population that triceps and biceps and delts will respond to those heavy inclines, heavy dumbell presses, heavy back movements in the grind it out 6-10 rep range and then there is a large part of the bodybuilding population that doesnt respond to that and they have to get "weird with it" in both rep schemes and 'mechanical positions".....Its kind of like this....virtually every single bodybuilder on this planet legs will respond to 20 rep squats that are progressive. Virtually every single bodybuilders legs will respond to heavy high rep leg presses in the 16-30 rep range if he is progressive with it. Think if that guy lifted for 12 years in a gym that he could only do leg extensions and hack squats and he did those for 8-10 reps, because thats all he knew and what his body was limited to responding to. He is limited. I virtually guarantee within a year of being introduced to 2 new mechanical positions (deep squats for 20 reps) and deep leg presses for 16-20 reps....his legs are going to blow the hell up. That kind of mentality has to be introduced to each and every weak bodypart. Ive seen that happen on advanced bodybuilders on "rack chins" where they had a developed but somewhat normal back but never really found that width exercise that took them to a new level....then they get into rack chins and just "get it" how its supposed to be done...and their back width transforms. I like to use leg press as an example alot because I could take any guy in this forum and ask him "hey what can you leg press for 16 reps?" and they will proudly tell me their answer (lets say 700 just for hypothetical reasons)....I bet any money i can get in that guys head and WILL him to someway somehow take that 700lbs and get 30 reps out of it...its pure willpower.... there is no balancing of bar needed...we are going to wrap your knees and you are going to go to 12 (then 5 deep breaths with knees slightly bent), 18 (then 5 deep breaths with knees slightly bent) 23 (he is going to be doubting himself here but he is going to do 5 deep breaths with knees slightly bent) 25, 27, (breath) 28,(breath) 29,(breath) 30. And he will make it to 30 with sheer fucking willpower.....and its going to feel like he got hit by a Ford 350 but he made it....when he previously thought he could not. Thats the kind of mentality alot of people should take into weak bodypart training....especially if you can find a movement to take balancing the bar out of it.
Weak shoulders? Wrap up your elbows like this is going to be a max effort 6 reps so your triceps dont fatigue first...and bomb out a 16-30 on a shoulder press machine with high reps and heavy weight and your delts will have no other recourse but to respond to that over time. Alot of people look at a shoulder lateral machine and they get one exercise out of it. I face in, i face out, I face in with one arm at a time, I face out with one arm at a time, Ive even found one where i stood in front of it (Panetta) and did a lateral just holding the handle. Every one of those is a slightly different mechanical position and every single one of those except the standing one...I ended up with the whole stack with gympins and plates or dumbells hanging off of it getting 20-30 straight or 20-30rp.
Weak hamstrings? Alot of guys do the lying leg curls, seated leg curls, (or stiff legs) for eons and have weak hamstrings and just think "ok it is what it is"....."thats it".....go try putting your back on a 12 inch

"outside the box"....things like that....its a bodybuilders job to think this stuff out
