DB SHRUGS SS PULLOVERS MODS

High rack pulls or block pulls from 2-4 inches above the knee will destroy your traps. The best trap exercise in existence is the (very) partial deadlift.

So let's have it, folks, are you like Jamie Lewis and find shrugs are the best thing to happen to your body since Dbol, or do you feel they have very little usage (whether strength-wise, hypertrophy-wise, or even both)?įor a while now I've been doing shitloads of shrugs, both heavy power shrugs, and lighter strict shrugs, and my traps have done absolutely nothing. They also, like I said, absolutely wreck the entire back side of my upper body. I somehow manage to fall in the middle, because I just fucking love doing shrugs (what else am I gonna move 6 plates on?), but I have never really noticed carryover per se. Either they love shrugs, or they think they're absolutely useless.
