Summary

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html In this episode, I chat about the science-backed strategies for building up lagging muscle groups that refuse to grow despite your training efforts. I cover the "sandwich strategy" for workout programming, how to use specialization phases and recovery management, the importance of nutrient timing around priority workouts, and why you need a calorie surplus or strategic maintenance approach to finally see those stubborn body parts develop.

If you have a muscle group or a body part that no matter how many sets and exercises you do for that body part, it never seems to improve and look better, even if the rest of your body is changing, then this podcast is going to be for you.

0:17.9

Welcome back to another episode of the Eric Roberts Fitness podcast. And in this episode,

0:22.4

I'm going to do a deep science dive of how to bring up lagging body parts. And what I mean by

0:31.6

lagging body parts is let's say you can see changes in your shoulders, but your glutes just take forever. Or like me, I can see changes

0:42.7

in my back and my arms pretty quickly, but my chest takes forever to grow and develop and change.

0:50.9

So if you have that muscle group and that body part, then this podcast is going to do

0:54.6

a deep dive into what you should do from a training standpoint, what you should do from a

1:00.9

nutrition standpoint, and the exact strategies that I give to myself and my clients that you'll

1:08.1

be able to steal in this episode today.

1:11.1

Now, I'm going to go into the science, but like I say, I will, quote unquote, make it easy

1:17.2

The first tactic I want to get into is how to set up your workouts so you can

1:33.1

build muscle and see that specific area of your body improve. But right before we get into

1:39.2

the specific tactics of workouts, I also just want to say the strategies that I am going to be giving you are

1:46.6

for more advanced or intermediate trainees. I think the mistake a lot of people make, especially

1:55.4

when you are first starting out in following a proper strength training program, and maybe you've done Beach Body or Orange Theory or hit workouts before.

2:04.7

If you're newer, I would say in the first six to 18 months of really following a program,

2:12.9

knowing you're doing things right, having proper form, lifting close to failure, lifting heavy,

2:18.2

all those things. You don't necessarily have to overly worry about the stuff I'm going to

2:24.7

talk about in the podcast today. It's not to say you shouldn't know it because you're going to get

2:28.7

to a point where you will need to know it and it will benefit you. But if you're more of a
