who wants huge traps?

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

Will do. Will reply with results Saturday.

deadlifts, i don't even do shoulder exercises anymore. Zero, and my shoulders-traps-are probablyb my best bodypart.

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.

I have gigantic traps from heavy deadlifts. I don't do any shrugs. If i added them I would look like I had no shoulders haha.

than obviously you have no shoulders than why do people make up this excuse?

i have a pic of mine before i did these, its in my album on my page. I was 50 lbs smaller than so there bigger now, i dont have a digital camera but im trying to get one, my friend from the washington post took these and i sent them into a nutrition company, theres more but thats all i posted

i was talking about BB here. i aslo do DB after close/wide grip. i just strap in regualr but do them yates style and bend my elbows a tad like a row and squeeze them up and back. this also makes a big difference. check out dorians trainning vid to see how im talking about if you want. i have the link that has the whole blood and guts video on it

can I get that link? Pm me

 

[Ricky5145]

sent it, enjoy man

Nice, I'll try this and see how it works out, thanks.

its a cool variation i must say. with the reverse grip, your body is forced to shrug it up and back, contracting your shoulder blades, versus the standard raise your delts to your ears (which always makes me want to lower my neck). i'll add this to one of my back routines.

repped.

I did them with the BB and smith tonight...I find it easier to do them on a smith machine...didn't hit may arse as many times as I did with the barbell...

You need scapulae depressions in there too. They will target the lower trapezium fibers more specifically.
