Wes I don't know what that move is called but I saw Milos do it and I tried it, love it!! Rear delt/traps are fried when you do that move properly.
Yeah,I saw them first done in an article by Ron Harris,then I gave them a shot....he called them "armpit rows" !!I add them in now and then......good movement for sure.
Oh no, you didn't If i understood, those are like a shrug with a longer ROM (flexing the elbows back).
More like a dumbell upright row,but the bells are held at the side of the legs and pulled into the armpit area,or as high as you can pull them as they cannot go all the way up to the armpit,but it serves as a good way to describe the exercise.
after 10 year of unsuccesful traps training i started upright row last august...my traps are now bigger than ever, i use light weight, focus on lock out of traps and negative phase, i do 4 sets of 10/15 reps with upright row, then 4 set of barbell shrugs, and my traps are burning like hell and are now visible under my t shirt.
How do you perform them? What grip and what kind of bar do you prefer?
did the armpit rows todayi dunno how they are most effective driving the elbows back while going up or the elbows out. so i did 3 sets of each.
DB shrugs are the most effective movement for my trap development.
when and why?Imma try traps with legs. They need some direct work now. When do you do traps?
