 Jim says understanding your own body is key. Knowing which body parts respond the best and which ones take longer is a must for all body builders. His best responding body parts are definitely chest and arms. Whereas, his quads and shoulders respond much slower so I pay special emphasis on these body parts and hardly do much for chest and arms these days!
