From what I understand power exercises are great for thickening up lagging traps.. high pulls, power cleans, & dynamic shrugs...

Don't edit my posts little buddy. I said nothing inflammatory. And do NOT edit it to make it say something like that; technically that's an abuse of power.

Not to flame, but obviously after seeing your trap pic, high volume is NOT working too well. I'm trying to help people out. Not every post people make is specifically targeted towards the originator of the thread; much of what I say is intended to be a counterpoint to what people are recommending. I SERIOUSLY doubt many people would agree that ten sets of shrugs are the way to go; to me that's completely excessive.

I would hope somebody reading that doesn't think that ten sets of DB shrugs are necessary, or even recommended, for growth, which is why I made a comment.

If you think something works for you, great. But I don't want to see anybody else doing it.

Don't ever edit my posts again, unless you have a valid reason.

Belial-
Your post was extremely offensive and I edited it as I saw fit. There's no reason I should keep offensive posts in the boards. Sorry.

 

[Belial]

Yes, I will write a letter to the admin.

"I'm gonna tell!" heh.

Seriously, though, if you're going to edit a post, it's a good idea to send an IM to the person whose post you're editing, with an explanation. Otherwise, nobody learns what your definition of "offensive" is.

You're doing nothing to change my opinion of you, but I can live with that.

And that's the last I'm going to say on the topic. God forbid i speak my mind and get edited again.

What you said in your message was extremely offensive..

Theres no need for that type of criticism in these boards Belial. Sorry for any kind miscomunication and your right I should have PMed you about it.

Again my apologies.

Noobie in the house, I have been looking into this a lot recently and I know a few people who suggest it but: Neck Bridges they build great strength and put on some good size, they are kind of like a stretch to you can do them in the mornings starting off every other day if you like.

hope this helps

I like to do "around the world" super sets every couple weeks. Including forward facing barbell shrugs, then side grip dumbbell shrugs, finishing with behind the back barbell shrugs. Works the complete spectrum of the trap. And obviously dead lifts and cleans
