I noticed that Deadlifts or 1/2 deadlifts are better for traps development than any shrugs or up-right rows movements
what do you guys think ?
-
your traps are pretty mountainous yourself big stud.
-
thanks squad papa 8)
-
upright rows take care of them.
-
try some bb shrug/db shrug/upright row giant sets.
-
If your traps get too big, they look crap - remember Jim Quinn ?!!!

GOOD POINT....

Bingo!
johhnie jackson is a good example...............
-

don't know about that !
I think thats the only muscle someone need to keep in check because it they are too big and your shoulder development isn't great, it makes you look very narrow
but big traps are what makes a physique look powerfull IMO
-

hahahahhahaa, it always makes me laugh when some little fagggot says that a certain muscle is "too big", if a muscle group looks bigger than the muscles surrounding it that means those groups need to catch up and get bigger not the other way around.

very true tho, I hate people who tries to "downsize" their legs because their upper-body is too small
legs can never be too big, look at tom plats he looked incredible even if his upper-body was lagging behind the incredible legs
-

uh, you do know that upright rows target the delts, right? Traps are only the stabilizers.

LOL!
ok then................what body part can be "too big" ?!?!?? Chest,Biceps?,Triceps,Back?,Legs,Hams?,Shoulders?
it depends on a persons symmetry (trying to get all body parts "even" to "match")
on there own truly and in symmetry with all the other body parts NO body part can ever be too big!

When I was about 18-19 my wife (then girlfriend) tricked me into drinking a big sip of Vlasic pickle juice she poured into a plastic cup.....I'll never forget that.....horrible.

Like I said, traps can be too big is you have narrow shoulders to begin with and not a super huge shoulder development
it makes a narrow/stocky look and I think it looks bad
but thats about the only muscle

I don't know about trap training, but pouring some ice cold pickle juice into your ear when you have an ear ache works wonders.

ok............fair enough!................ill give you that!
but.................some times having one body part "overdeveloped" IE: having a "freaky body part
is a good thing/think Mike Matarazzos arms,Tom PLatzs Quads,DEmayo Quads ..........etc etc

my traps grew a lot this year while I did not direct training for them but I did more deadlifts in my trainings

i have a drink of 3/4 cup pickle juice before doing heavy leg workouts and it prevents me from blowing farts during heavy sets.
true story...
ok not true... ;D

I ate some leftover lasagna last night....it didn't have enough meat in it so I browned some hamburger and added some spices and a little tomato sauce....did the trick.

No bullshit? Never heard that one.

Deads just throw off symmetry, isolate your traps.

why not change it up and do all these movements.....i do shoulders and back the same day.......deads and go back and shrug later at the end of the workout
-

They do enough for em

I don't train them - already look like a camel.
Typical whitetrash - all traps-genetics with narrow clavicles :'(

Indeed. I put a chain on and the fucker rolls down my traps and looks stupid ...
-
I hit upright rows and dumbell shrugs when I'm training my rear delts. The traps also get worked in all my other back movements.

behind the back heavy barbell shrugs...lee haney favourite
-
(http://www.usedgymequipment.com/hammer/shrug.jpg)--my favorite for shrugs! I do it standing up and fill each side with 45's.
The position of the grip hits my traps more diectly than barbell shrugs.

What a coincidence...."pumphard" was playing with two frogs last night and they "somehow" ::) got lost in his rectal cavity hahaha
-
front delts can be too big.
see lee priest.
although i do agree with squadfather...your better off making the other parts bigger, than making the big part smaller.
but im not sure lee could make his chest any bigger, so in order to create the illusion of a bigger chest he would have to back of the presses and do more laterals.

I have it on good authority that Mike Sanders is a closet homosexual.

When did Lee stop doing presses? He's done them in every one of his training videos... his last one I think he was doing 3 plates on the smith like a week out from the show.

Ahhhh...yes he would. I thought you meant he already did. I know Lee has said he never trained his traps though... although his traps look pretty good.

Did your knuckles hurt after pounding her apologetic?

lee is a goddamn freak of nature
everybody talks about his arms, but the guys got world class legs, shoulders, forearms, and conditioning (sometimes) too.

I don't think Lee's ever come in off, and he's the one who gets in the worst shape in the offseason. Did you know when they made the Hulk movie they used Lee for the running, jumping etc... I thought that was pretty cool.
-
yeah he never comesin in 'off' perse, but he has came in with soft glutes and hams a couple of times. from the front he is ALWAYS nails.
-

You never punch a woman.....you bloody their mouths with the back of your hand.
