    Yeah, a smith machine would work for that, but my main question why the heavy focus on shrugs?

    I'm not really focusing on them, it's just that I thought it was a heavy weight...but I guess not :cry:

    Funny thing, I kept on repeating some of Ronnie's lines and a couple of guys looked at me weirdly.

    shrugs with 100 lb dumbbells are nothing to sneeze at. the important question is how high do you go?

    'cause i can shrug 405 10 times a little bit, but i fail at 10 with 185 if i go all the way to my ears each rep.

    if you don't go to your ears with the 405, you shouldn't count it

    I do have a question about the form.
    If I stick my head out a bit, does it work the traps more?

    Also, when I do barbell shrugs, I use an alternative grip (one palm in, other palm out). Does this matter at all?
    The reason why I do it like that is because it helps with my grip.

    You can try different shrugs, the best resource for which would be Kelso's Shrug Book that is packed with shrug info. You'd be surprised.

    Deadlifts are good for your traps. I say this both because Mark Rippetoe says it, but also from personal experience.

    I agree with this completely. I've never done any trap specific work and mine are pretty fucking strong.

    you can't go wrong with upright rows

    those thing rock

    and overhead tricep extensions.

    if you don't think those don't work your traps, you are mistaken.

    Upright rows work, but they will hurt you, I stopped doing them (along with behind the neck presses).

    You can go super wrong with upright rows given that they're extremely bad for you and you're basically guaranteed to fuck up your shoulder.

    If you search my posts for upright row I've been through it before. They're terrible for you. Even Necro doesn't do them, and he's a beast. T-Nation advises against them, and those guys don't even admit steroids are bad for you.

    How heavy do you have to go before it becomes a problem? I think that I used to do upright rows (I mean, it's a "row" motion and I'm standing upright), and it never caused a problem.

    EDIT: Oh, wait, no. GIS/Wikipedia disagrees with me. Yeah, uh...

    CableMachineUprightRow.JPG

    What part of that looks like a good load-bearing position for the shoulder? Jesus, that doesn't even look healthy.

    This is the row that I used to do:

    Except that he's leaning waaaay forward. I did this standing in front of a wall. This is the one I currently use:

    bb_00_renegade_row_2_s.jpg

    You can throw a pushup in there for fun if you want.

    Yay, now I have a reason for taking upright rows out of my routine! I always hated that exercise.
    Maybe I'll do military presses instead. Or something.

    Military presses are not a substitute for rows. Try doing renegade rows (the one that looks like a pushup) instead. You can do it with dumbbells, as long as the dumbbells have flat bottoms so they can be placed on the floor.

    Upright rows are terrible. I cringe whenever I see someone do them at the gym.
    My shoulders would always hurt during the exercise and my joints would make the most awful of sounds.

    Upright rows are second only to curls and MAYBE the bench as the most popular exercise at my gym. Bent over rows are good but I'm pretty sure I'm doing them wrong in some way because I find them hugely uncomfortable.

    I think duck stance deadlifts involve the feet turned out. Which seems like regular deadlifts. Ow. Ow. Ow. Still, after this no deadlifts until monday.

    Military presses are a substitution for upright rows because upright rows and military presses both work the upper traps. I don't know why you'd do upright rows instead of a military press because the press is a much better exercise. You should still do some other kind of rows to work your lower traps and general back though.

    I did sumo deadlifts at the gym today and tore the ass out of my pants.

    It was embarrassing.

    Later, after I changed pants, I did some boxing and vomitted a little.

    Your exercising tales are always so colourful. First you go blind from the plank, and now you tear your pants and vomit.
