Pick your weapon,stick with it,find a weight thats heavy but managable and keep the reps slow and controlled,really feel your traps sqeazing.Hold for a second at the top and a nice slow control down.Form is where the gains are here.Dumbell back fly's hit 'em too of course! ______________________ "Practice puts brains in your muscles" |

I'm doing 20rep Hise Shrugs at the moment - Shrugs with the Barbell on your traps. As its winter the grip in my hands is really sucky at the moment (too many broken bones) - but doign Hise Shrugs means I can shrug 160kg with good form, without my grip being the weak link in the chain... | |
