dem traps

[Titan18]

I like face pulls an db shrugs. Also at the top of my dead lift motion I will bang out some shrugs as well. Love watching them stand up after a good pump.

I do this too. End each rep of deads with a shrug.

AFAIK you can twist them more to tighten them up more

Hmm, apparently I haven't figured it out yet, I should give them another chance and try as you suggest.

I usually do the same shit every time, I grab the heaviest Dumbbells do as many as I can and drop the weight 10lbs until I'm shrugging 5lbs each hand lol, There's also something about barbell shrugs behind your back that feels beautiful.. Very natural position and feeling and you can squeeze the traps more.

Am I right in thinking you lift a lot of weight and press as long as you can, then slowly decrease the weight and increase the reps?

I think he is just talking about drop sets. Running the rack. I do it sometimes for lateral raises.

Yeah like Malfeasance said I just run down the rack, But I practically do that at some point with every single muscle I train. The thing that makes traps different Is I don't warm up or do "feeder" sets leading up to it. The reps sometimes don't actually increase, Sometimes I might be done with the 120's and not be able to do more reps with the 100's or 110's etc.. It's just a quick and effective way to completely fry them.

Now I understand what the point is. I even wanted to do it myself.

Thank you, yes now I understand and it came to me stupidly what it was about

Rack pulls with my head facing up had my traps grow at insane rate. Plus all the usual Shrugs with barbell and dumbell

Shrugs in any of its varieties is excellent for a trapezoid. This is always very efficient.
