You're definitely one of the more intelligent trainers on here & it definitely worked for you as I've seen your pictures

The Jefferson Deadlift!
Yep, was a major exercise in the old York Bodybuilding Course.

Probably because you can't use as much weight as other leg exercises. I actually liked that exercise back when I started out.

I'm sure I saw a video of kai Greene using it in a workout
Yes I did...

Only if performed with the same shorts, boots, braid, oiled and tanned.

Should be on top of the list for everyone who wants to improve glute control.

Mechanically, does the Jefferson squat offer any advantage over just wide stance squats? It was as if Kai was doing "weird" excercises to make it seem like he was doing something novel? I remember he said he started all back workouts with dips which seemed weird to me but the other day I looked at a nautilus dip machine at the gym and I think it said it worked the lower traps?
Regarding pull ups for back, do you guys really do overhand pull ups instead of pulldowns? For me it's such a heavy exercise I feel like I can't do even a single rep the way I'd like to, the range is real short.

I find that exercise guyishly stupid or stupidly gay ,whichever is fitting better.But I’m sure Kai’s fan base are squeezing buttocks like crazy after seeing it from master himself and then someone else using same bar for bench press and wondering wha’t that smell.

Guys that do them a lot with good weight advise that the closet feel to them is probably front squats. It's an old 1800s lift that was around before squats, etc.... were common place. The inventor was Charles Jefferson, an old circus strongman whose act was a lot of deadlift and partial deadlifts, etc..... mainly.
The only other argument for them is that it's probably safer than deadlifting because of the self limiting nature of the lift, and because traditionally there isn't much rounding of the back, etc....
Quite frankly, with things like trap bars, etc.... why bother unless you're an "odd lift" guy.

Getting a little tired of you placing all these limitations on us man.
Last I checked we live in the U S of fuckin' A man and can do what we want.

You only need two exercises for the entire body. Everyone knows this.
Turkish Get-Ups
And
Bulgarian Split Squats.
Complete full body workout.
And if you train Heavy Duty, you only need to perform them once every 8 months!

Its one of those "full body movements "
Laying flat on your back. One arm extended straight up, holding a kettle bell. Then in a series of specific movements, you stand straight up, keeping the kettle bell extended overhead. Its a ridiculous movement celebrity trainers claim to have their clients do. A few years ago it was in magazines like Men's Health all the time.
Its useless but again many claim it to be the secret to their "Hollywood" physique.

He does it for the sake of attention and probably to promote his twisted fruitcake agenda. He barely uses any usefull weight load.

Never heard the term jm press.

Cross between NGB and skull crusher. They feel awesome, I alternate with free weights and the cable machine and keep my back against the machine for bracing.

Wide grip (snatch grip) shrugs are actually a very clever way to target the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle.
When we shrug, we usually tend grab a bar or a pair of dbells and perform scapular elevations.
(https://i.postimg.cc/GmYqpQRG/IMG-20241012-161848-785-04.png)
--------
A wider grip allows the scapula to laterally rotate, which strongly involves the upper traps.
A narrower grip tends to induce medial rotation

There's this guy Paul Carter, a very arrogant fuck, who said shrugs weren't a trap exercise at all, said it just piss people off I think. But the way he explained it I remember the tension should come more from the side, like from two low pulleys. This fuckhead wouldn't even reply for clarification. But even a fuckhead can be (somewhat) right. Maybe the snatch grip affects traps in a similar way? I always thought of new exercises for traps, traps just look cool :D

Try no hand shrugs in a smith machine - they hit kinda nicely

This
Standard shrug feel like I'm bunching up and releasing - these feel like a contraction and stretch - feels good - people should try them
-
traps work best doing a high pulley row
do then like this but put your head down you will get a real contraction in the traps

they really isolate the traps, you get a huge burn after about 8 reps

I've done a shitload of pulley high rows, reps felt best at about 20 reps. Last exercise on back/deadlift day. I leaned back more, sitting on the ground and one foot on a post, if the pulley/cable station had something like that to stabilise. I remember I used about 200lbs for 20 to the nose/throat area. Felt like they 'toughened up" my grip/forearms too :D
I know some do pullups with a rope as a forearm exercise mainly but I'm too weak for that exercise :D
-
I am too weak to train every day now so perhaps I should give this a try? Thank you!

Quads: zercher squats
Hams: stiff leg deadlift
Abs: leg raises
Lower back: this gymnastics exercise where you lay on a block and lift your legs up

Most seem to do them standing up. Some even use a supinated grip where the end position looks like a rear back double bicep, which doesn't look appealing to me. Balance is a problem standing up obviously if using heavier loads. I think you could have an incline bench in front of you to make it chest supported but never tried that. Great pump in forearms.

I have an incline bench but I would require help moving it. The weight I will use is maybe 10lbs so I should be fine. I will try the exercise later today, thank you!

Hahahahaha. I see this and just think Joe dirt.
Hahah thought the same thing after hitting the post button

The best body destroying exercices.
Delts - seated press behind neck
Chest - flat bench
Back - barbell row
Hams - stiff leg deadlift
What???? These are great!

Most seem to do them standing up. Some even use a supinated grip where the end position looks like a rear back double bicep, which doesn't look appealing to me. Balance is a problem standing, up obviously if using heavier loads. I think you could have an incline bench in front of you to make it chest supported but never tried that. Great pump in forearms.
you dont need heavier loads if you do them properly

You need a good mind/muscle connection and a slow deliberate contraction at the end of the rep IMO.
I always imagine that my elbows are on pads as I push the imaginary pads backwards instead of just yanking or pulling the ropes.
Of course I also imaging that I am the most good looking man on the planet as well. :D

Yes, but I just think all exercises work better using heavier weights - as long as execution is close to perfect :D
What do many bodybuilders attribute their good traps to? Deadlifts. And there's almost zero range of motion. But of course there are bodybuilders who claim, for example, that you don't need heavy dumbell curls if done "properly," 20lbs is all you'll ever need. Usually if I did something "heavy" I usually did a perfect slow, squeezing and contracting set too ;D
Deadlifts can build tremendous traps and there is no range of motion to speak of, just contracting and stretching of the traps. The most important variable is the androgens, because there are no "bodybuilding traps" without exogenous androgens. :D Some lifters claim they saw zero additional growth with "proper bodybuilding sets." :D
Dante Doggcrapp claimed just hard stretching in itself builds som muscle and I know he's right. :D I often did a single set of shrugs and then finished with just holding the dumbells in a stretch for as long as I could tolerate it, could be 30 seconds or could be 3 minutes, hurts like a son of a bitch. Sitting in a stretch, then contracting as hard as possible against the weight for 20 seconds or whatever, then stretching again. :D

There are a lot of BBs in my observation who do not do deadlifts but still have big traps.

For sure. But I bet you have thought about lifting a fair bit as well. :D

Absolutely. Traps are a function of high testo levels mostly. :D One exercise that hits the traps hard is lateral raises and others. Then you have behind the neck press, even dips :D
The one exercise that "stresses" the traps the most is IMO banded deadlifts. It feel almost injurious with the tension, next day you can feel it in the base of the skull, neck and traps. Try it with maybe 150lbs of band tension at the top and go as hard as possible for a few sets and tell me what was sore.

Once I’ve asked JOJ how to build big calves and he told me : go F..yourself. Very rude guy.

What if you could only pick one exercise? Like you can do other non-weighted things like calisthenics but only one exercise you get to use weights.
I am taking the bench press because I can do pullups for back and biceps and ride my bike walk etc for legs

FWIW - my traps were never amazing, but the best they ever were was when I got a training partner so could switch from Smith Machine to rack squats. Just the effort of controlling that free load did wonders for me. There was something about the pullback and grip that just seemed to activate 'deep fibres' (smh)

I would pick the deadlift mostly because I really cared about getting better at it. There were a couple of years where I almost exclusively trained the deadlift. And the total number of reps of the workout, warm-ups included was sometimes under 10 teps! Lol. I didn't lose any muscle at all, maybe a few millimeters here and there, too little to notice. I remember looking for a job and the interviewer asked how much I trained and I said, "just a little," because 10 reps a week of one exercise would be "very little" by most peoples' estimation. The interviewer, "the fuck you 'train a little', I can clearly see you lift alot." Deadlifts do activate most of the body at least a little. No one does deadlifts as a quad exercise but they are activated for sure. I don't know about pecs and arms, although more than a few times even my pec contracted so hard I thought I tore it. ;D
It's also why I think you need very very little to keep whatever muscle mass you have, say 2 workouts a week. Deads, squats, curl grip pullups, dips or presses. Maybe a set for both the bicep and tricep, abs, calves although they are actually stimulates by deads and just walking out of the rack when squatting. With 3 fairly brief workouts a week you can for sure even grow, perhaps even optimally.( as long as the hormones are there lol)]

1 exercise only I would prob curl, cause I just love curling. I think chin ups are better but since only one weighted exercise I choose curls.dips,pull ups,chin ups, push ups, many other bodyweight moves so I could work everything and I would just curl cause I find it amusing.

Zercher squat but with a shrug like how that grizzly guy does.
It's a more natural movement to do in repetitions than deadlifts IMO (your body is made to pick heavy things up and carry them for distance, not to keep lifting things up) and it keeps constant tension.

That’s all I did with different variations as a kid ,regular push ups, between 2 chairs and feet on the bed ,narrow /wide hands spread .I saw great progress in the upper body.

So much thought put into biceps when it's such a small muscle, my biceps are like a chicken breast after a lifetime of lifting :-\
My friend has some of the best biceps in the world and when people ask for arm advice he just says "curls, nothing different from anyone else" That"s all the advice you need. There's very little difference in results between different curls and some biomechanics experts say you can't even a different part of the triceps so all types of extensions are the same. Although I agree a bit with Vince B in that overhead extensions with a good stretch feel more anabolic lol.

all muscles work exactly the same, they pull in a straight line from the insertion points
Stress the muscle through a full range of motion and it will expand and grow

It's generally accepted that to develop the tricep long head best have the upper arm extended overhead, away from the torso like for example, a overhead tricep extension, overhead press, or lying tricep extension. This is because the long head attaches to the shoulder blade and not the upper arm.
The medial and short head are best developed by exercises like a bench press, close grip bench, or tricep pushdown.
However, all pushing and pressing exercises develop the tricep to some degree.
