Enhanced glycogen retention from the extra test. :)

Will try today the inverted shrugs -but on a smith machine, seated. Lets see what all the fuzz is about. I clearly need more traps!

Honestly I think you have decent traps, I could be wrong it is hard to tell based off that recent picture, but your neck is a little small proportionally to the rest of you. I would recommend doing some towel exercises to strengthen it and add some size. Also towel exercises helped me develop huge traps. Plus it will help out those old shoulders of yours and prevent neck pain as you get really old .

You are looking really good though. You can really tell the difference. Size is way up.

Your neck is not small by any means, but based off the pictures Ive seen, it does seem the be smaller than the rest of you. I could definitely be wrong and the pictures I've seen have been misleading.

Towel exercises is same concept as those weight neck harnesses but you use a partner to offer the resistence with a towel. And do all four direction left right front and back.

If the app is working right this post should have an attachment to a pic of my trap. I'll post up a picture with my face, my fatness, and all soon enough. But for now it will just be my trap. Just remembered I have not been lifted much for about 2 years, so it's not anywhere as big as I used to be. As I've being pretty much doing only rehab for shoulders, which is actually finally doing well now, and small amount of body weight stuff. However, I'm thinking my shoulders are getting to the point where I can go full board with working out again. Thinking over the summer I'll do a log with pictures, it be my first, showing my progress.

Needs a partner...well, that is the problem. All my training partners quit on me, because I used to touch them inappropriately while spotting.

Wait you're not supposed to touch your partner inappropriately? Definitely could get a harnesses though. I do think it is worth it, my size in shoulder traps and neck went way up from neck work outs. Not to mention strength on my bench and shoulder press

I'm trying to figure out how this works. My wild guess is, you stick your nose between the two rolls, right?

You do it in all four positions Face First, Back Of Head and Left and Right. I got it from a college football weight room. It really strengthens you neck. But you haven't had a pain full muscle cramp until you get one in your neck. Mother F............er it hurts !!!

Awesome set. Gonna need to give those a try. I tried the reverse shrugs standing but didnt get the movement down correctly. Will try again tomorrow, on shoulders.

Had to move the chair around to get the perfect position, wasn't sure how wide the grip is, so I did it with different grip widths.
