Size Strength & Awesomeness

I know everyone is tired of talking about gatoraide but the G series 3 Recovery has 16g protein, 14 carbs, 95mg potassium, calcium, and sodium, with 12 grams sugar. It's about the same as a protein bar but with electrolites and less filler. Good for post workout.

Dinner for a buddy & myself.
(took it half way thru the plate so it doesnt look like much food)

If anyone has some wicked methods for traps, I'm all ears.
Recently what was working was...
High Pulls-5x5
Barbell Shrugs-3x8-12
DB Shrugs--2x10-15
Hang cleans and regular cleans have helped in the height of my traps but they dont have that thickness

as your deadlift increases, they should thicken...

All in all good workout- nothing mind blowing but wanted to work on aspects of lifts like overload n pauses n speed.
I've gotten stronger but also leaner past 10 days- weird sweet spot.
Taking 2 days off to rest n recover n eat!

Day off feels great. EAting and working and volunteering.

Lunch: 6oz chicken & big salad with almonds
Dinner- family dinner n that means lots of good eats

Question for anyone who can help- I have small hands/wrists- elitefts has a sale I was thinking About picking up some fat gripz or a heavy gripper- which would be recommended for forearm strength/size.( reverse curls/heavy Deads, farmer carries haven't don't much for them, figure I'd give something new a go)
