    Can you explain to me what do you mean by close grip/wide grip? Do you mean while using a BB?

    Anyone who neggs you for trying to help someone out is an insult to douchhe bags. Jackaasses who start piddly b.s. internet "fights" deserve to be negged, not the ones who come here to share their knowledge.

    Beyond deadlifts, nothing has worked better for me than power shrugs. I guarantee this will make your traps sore for a week the first time you do them.

    google bill starr power shrug

    i never did a deadlift/shrug before and the biggest thing on me was my traps. genetics are great, but its always nice to improve, even in areas that may not feel like they need it.
