some guys have been asking about some traps so i thought i would just make a thread about it....if ya want to get some beef in your traps its a certain excercise on a certain machine.its takes heavy weight and in the 4-6 rep range and you need to increase the weight everytime ,each week, if you want them to grow,if your feeling down or tired dont go to the gym,relax ,eat,and sleep good that night and go tomorrow,your wasting your time if your not pushing that muscle group harder the next time,it wont grow,it doesnt have to if your not making it harder to move weight in a certain derection,derection is key..traps,,not up and down like the classic shoulder shrug,that works to a extent,but rather a movement(try to follow me)from your front lower waist area and a pull movement up and in.so,if you sitting down on a seat and you put your hand with a grip right above your side of your knee and you pull up and in towards your armpit,contracting and concentrating on your meat part of your traps,not the top of you traps,your traps run along the top but mostly down the middle of your back,thats were the depth and fullness comes from,shrugs only hit the top,not much thers only appears to be when you look at someone from the front,look at ronnie coelmans rear double bi pose and youll see what im talking about.so...the perfect machine for this movement is the hammer strength sitdown row machine,the one that has seperate arms you can move on at a time.most guys use this for their back overall but if you raise the seats as high as they go the handles are lower and they move upwards not just in but upwards,focus on pulling with your traps.i do one side at a time and knock out as much weight as i can in 6 reps sometimes 4.me personally when i was on tren i went up to 4 45 plates and a 25 each side and put a safetey collar on the end and i was only 160lbs at the time,i got full extention as far out as i could go and all the way up and in,i used my back and lats to start it off and then turned it over to the traps half way up the ride,well i hopes this helps and i would love to see you guys improve those traps,i know its hard for some of you guys,it might be the only thing lagging on you , i would love to see you reach that goal,i know i have my lagging parts we all do but its the journey not just a destination.

post them monstar traps!!!!!
