Calves, 100%. I’ve trained them 3x a week for years and they still look like I skip leg day lol.
For me it’s delts. My chest and arms blow up fast, but shoulders take forever to grow.
Back is my weakest point. Strength keeps going up but visually it just doesn’t look that impressive.
Honestly, calves are all genetics. Mine barely changed despite adding weight every week.
Legs for sure. Upper body responds great, but getting bigger quads has been a grind.
I’ve run every shoulder specialization routine out there. Delts improved, but way slower than expected.
Not gonna lie, back was stubborn until I stopped ego lifting and focused on contraction.
Calves. Mileage may vary, but mine seem completely immune to hypertrophy.
