DUMBBELL SHRUGS


If anyone has another exercise I am forgetting PLEASE list it and Ill add it.

In my experience, it would have to be power cleans.Not so much the weight used(as I've never gone over 205 with this movement), but the explosive movement coupled with the range of motion involved.The other thing about power cleans are the different variations.Full cleans,power cleans, hang cleans and dumbell cleans.They all hit the traps effectively.

well uh...DB shrugs for me

deadlifts, period.

I've used and seen good results w/ all of the above.
But, high pulls would be another good addition.

When I started shrugging..I could see my traps get bigger...when I started deadlifting heavier..... other people could see my traps getting huge....... a combo of the two......
