I personally have heard both sides. I do my shrugs with shoulders. Everyone tell me your opinion.
Very close to my workout routine. Holy crap...I do them with shoulders too...4 day split...
Mon - Chest/Tri
Tue - Back/Bi
Thu - Legs
Fri - Shoulders/Traps/Neck
Great minds think alike!Very close to my workout routine. Holy crap...
Only difference is the order. I don't like having only one day between chest and delts.
I go:
Legs
Chest/Tri
Back/Bi
Delts/Trap/Forearms
How do you workout your neck?I do them with shoulders too...4 day split...
Mon - Chest/Tri
Tue - Back/Bi
Thu - Legs
Fri - Shoulders/Traps/Neck
I take a 35 plate and fold up a towel. Then I lie down on a bench face up with my head off the bench and place the place on my forehead. Then while holding on to the plate, I lift my head up and then back down. After the set, then flip around and sit on the bench, lean forward, put the plate on the crown of my head and do the same thing backwards. About 12 reps for each direction, then rest.How do you workout your neck?
I used to do these as well and received the same looks from other gym goers. I really need to get back to doing them.I take a 35 plate and fold up a towel.

I used to do them every delt w/o, but now I get them in maybe once a month.
I get a lot of weird looks at the gym :blink:

I love those old school harnesses, but they don't have those at 24 Hour Fitness - too hardcore LOL And I don't do them enough to spend $50 on a harness.I also have one of those old head harnesses. THose drive me crazy, dont do them as much any more

LOL I used to do that. You don't need many sets and it gives you a manly friggin neck.I take a 35 plate and fold up a towel.

I train them with forearms.Here's an idea, train them with forearms! Just kidding. I do them with shoulders, if at all. Traps get trained ALOT for me with dead lifts. Shrugs are fun to do, though. Whatever you do, don't do forearms the day before, if you isolate them that is. Your grip will be nil.
Haven't had any issues..in fact, I have had less upper back/neck pain since doing them.Lol, I could only imagine. That sounds cool though, I will try it out. Do you think it could be bad for the spine at all?
My neck was kinda skinny compared to the rest of my upper body, but those have def made a difference. I don't look like a wreslter, but defintely bigger neck.LOL I used to do that. You don't need many sets and it gives you a manly friggin neck.
That actually makes sense. I was kind of making a joke, I should have said "do them on forearm day". You know, like forearms get their own day...nevermind.I train them with forearms.
