What are the reasons behind some people developing certain muscles faster than others? I have no athletic background that would have favored my shoulders, but my OHP has always been my most advanced lift according to strstd or symmetricstrength.com

>muscle insertions can change mechanical advantage, making exercises harder
>bone shape can decrease actual ROM, making exercises easier
>higher testosterone will tend to grow delts and traps more than other muscles (since they have more androgen receptors)
>maybe you're just training those exercises more than most people
did I miss any?

weird timing. I don't usually care of do much for shoulders. I haven't hit 2pl8 bench yet, im at 2.5pl8 squat and 3pl8 deadlift. I thought I'd start doing 5x5 1pl8 strict ohp, and no problems. No back arch, no hip assist, nothing except overextended wrists. I'm starting to think I'm just doing something wrong on my other lifts. >>42632421
how long did it take you to hit 1pl8 ohp?
>>42632507
care nor do much*

I just recovered from surgery, so i'm starting again from square one. i'm 10 weeks into a beginner program. My OHP is 120x5
>>42632507
Jesus what the fuck is a pl8, in kg or pounds?
Fucking hell, us in the UK don't have a standard pl8

I hope you're feeling better m8. So I take it your OHP is progressing faster that all else then?

shit, i figured EU plates would be equivalent to 45lbs( almost 21kg)

The "bug menace" was attacked first, Rico.

>that face when
Lurk more you tard
>>42632421
more muscle fibers there is the simplest reason
insertions
bone shape
hormonal
luck

Significantly so.

so how come symmetry is set at 1/2/3/4? I've been working bench consistently and yet it's my weakest. I'm >>42632507 this fuckboi btw

Genetics. My dad was strong and had broad shoulders so I had strong lifts in the gym from day one.
