Chest for me, always feels like my shoulders do all the work.

As above chest as well as back seem to be my problem.

Arms shoulders and legs seem to grow and progress pretty well.

+1 for chest.
 Always crawls behind every other muscle group in terms of progress for me.

I've always had a very big chest and proportionally it looks much larger than the rest of my body so I am trying to work it less frequently and increase my relative arm size.  In the other hand, my calves look puny in relation to the rest of my body, maybe it is because I never played football as a child! lol

Wrists! Not really a part I can train, but it don't matter how big I get, I'll always have girls wrists!

Arms take ages to grow for me. Legs seem to be the only part of me that grow very quickly!
