2" Bar Snatch Shrugs

[PolishHammer1977]

I have found my new friend last week and I feel like I should let all of you know about it.

2" bar snatch shrugs. I am mixing them into my routine 3 times a week no questions asked until I am happy withmy progress......Could that actually ever happen?......lol

Monday - Heavy for 1-5 reps

Wednesday - Light for 15-20 reps

Friday - Moderate for 8-12 reps

I have a slight rhomboid/trapezius imbalance and I really think this exercise will give me the boost that I need. When I am able to go back to strongman training I will be a hella' lot stronger where I need it the most.

For those that do not know what this exercise is and it's specifics;

2" bar = 2 inch thick bar

Snatch Shrugs = using a "snatch grip" which is a double overhand grip onto the thick bar. The hand placement is as wide as possible. I have my hands actually touching the cupling that separates the 2" bar to the 1.5" converter.

Cuplings = plumbing supplies that attatch one piece of pipe to another without the need for solder.

ROM = Straight up and straight down. No roll back or any non sense.

Yes. Those were handed down to me from pops. I learned those at an early age but for some reason they aren't working like they should. I thought that I was performing them wrong but after video analysis I saw that my form was correct.

Incline shrugs work better for me through the test of time. Excellent suggestion however. Kelso shrugs are a solid tool for the rhomboids!!!!

I enjoy thick bar work VERY much. It gives my hands and forearms a solid workout.

I have had 2" bar work in my routine as a regular staple for a long time now. I would estimate about 6 months.
