Do you do shrugs standing? If so, try sitting on a OHP seat and doing them that way. I find I get a greater focus on traps that way.

You mean seated db shrugs? I've done them with barbells and db's when standing.

Thx. Maybe I'll try

@MindlessWork correct. In lehmans terms. Me not so go with English

@gr8whitetrukker

Try doing them singularly, one side at a time also. I find I get a greater contraction that way

You could sit on a bench and have db's in each hand and shrug then like you would do standing.

Trap bar for the win, if your gym has one. I like doing deads w them and then shrugs at the top. Also great for bent over rows.

I just find a seat with a back support works better as it takes your posterior chain almost completely out of the movement

Yes, the bench with a back is even better..my bad for not mentioning that

Yes great mention. The trap bar is a good piece of equipment. Unfortunately my chain gym doesn't have one. If they did I would take up dead lifting again. The neutral grip is better for the spine and far less likely to cause debilitating injury

@OdieM

Would you believe all these lakes. I mean all of them here are STILL closed due to the high waters. Army corps of engineers has daily updates on all news regarding park and water closures. No boating for me

That's why you need to find one that has a damn and they use it to generate electricity. They don't let those lakes get to high. From what I'm hearing this high water is making for awesome fishing up against the new shore line.

Can't get a boat on the water Unless it sits at a dock 24/7.

All the docks and parks I visited today had been swallowed whole. Quite literally gone. I forded 3'+ of h20 over closed roads just to get a better view. We are so fucked here

Yeah we are to but I'll use my 4 wheeler to launch my boat if I have to. I seriously doubt I will find any sandbars to play on during my vacation.

My gym has one and it's pretty darn good

Alright boys. This log is over effective immediately

I more than met my goals on the last push for my 9 day goal. Opened up the cal count and gained 10 pounds in that time frame.

Im going to be enjoying my off cycle time as I've pushed very hard. Back to a bulk on trt for now. Maybe some pure strength training in my future. A big push to 500 on bench and a 500+ squat sounds like a nice goal.

Im going to be around just not as much as usual here going forth. Some of you have other means of contacting me and you know who you are . Feel free to do so.
