muscles that are not used often ? woha,
certain muscles may respond better to slightly different training. also when you start out then normally you will have some good gains in bodyparts you haven't worked so in essence yes chest would gain a bit faster for starters then say calves ( i guess..),
now because most people play some sort of sport like soccer for an example, or just have to walk, that means your legs got work done before,
but mostly this is down to training since i Rarely see people do enough for legs when starting out or even several month(sometimes years) into training,
a lot of people just do biceps and chest exercises, or do gross amount of sets for the muscles they think are important, and barely do work for other muscles
like a person the other day who has been training for years now, yet his routine included only 3 sets of squats, whereas he had a lot more work for biceps and chest then necessary.
this can also depend on genetics. like for me i make gains in chest hell of a lot faster then in lats.
so whereas there could be a basis to this, there are a lot of things to take into account.

I would challenge the belief.
Whatever Body Part you focus on will develop the fastest.
Most guys work chest 2 to 3 times a week. Legs once a week ………… Maybe!!!
Personally I developed big powerful thighs running Sprints in Track. After college I quit running and a few years later got into bodybuilding. My thighs developed very quickly again. By my mid to late 30's they were in the Freakish Size category.
When I really started to concentrate on my Chest……………………………….Shazam my chest got BIG.

Mentality has a huge role in bodybuilding. If you think of a muscle to be secondary, it will develop slower, if you consider it uber important it will grow faster.
I noticed this on myself. Usually I wouldn't really pay much attention to arms, and go through the arm sets without concentrating, just waiting for the time to go by. Once I started considering them as important as any other body part, they grew bigger like they never did before... It's all in your mind. If you want bigger legs, just train properly with both your body and mind. Always imagine yourself in the mirror 6 months from now, because it will help with your motivation, and who knows, maybe the law of attraction really exists.

Hmm. Almost everybody can develop their chest greatly because it is in the genes for all of us from the time our ancestors used 4 legs. Pecs were key muscles for moving |

It is possible (pure speculation here) that lesser used muscle may initially respond more to exercise than frequently used muscle because the more used muscle is already somewhat trained. Basically the unused muscle experiences "newbie" gains whereas the more frequently used muscle responds more slowly, like an intermediate athlete. I would think that the progress would even out fairly quickly.

Yes, that's it. Especially for the nerves that "come" in use when you have started training. |

WTF are you on? We're descended from some form of marsupial from what I recall so yup, a few hundred million years ago our ancestors had 4 legs. Heck I seem to recall reading that we share part of our genome with mushrooms (which explains a lot really)  |
