How do you get HEIGHT for your traps? I've been trying for the longest time and cant get any height. My buddy suggested close grip barbell shrugs, I can feel it but no dice.
Is it all genetics? =\
In other news, hoping to move onto 60 lb dumb bells for shoulder press soon

if you dont see any results from shrugs after a couple months of doing so, i would just concentrate on shoudler presses and side/front raises... your traps actually activate more than you think during shoulder presses.
it is kind of a shitty deal, like people with skinny calves.. there isn't much you can do about it :S

Good advice in there
Also start with your toes facing slightly out
Never have your knee over your big toe (duh....)
SQUEEZE YOUR CORE! You may think you can't get that last one up, but just flex your core muscles and you can do it!
Squats are king. Quote:

-keep ur back arched and powerful
-push ur chest OUT
-keep ur feet PLANTED( i see people tippy toeing sometimes) and drive with your heels
-grip the bar as hard as you can (will help keep ur upper body tight)
-as you go upwards in the squat, push your knees to the sides OUT
*and the LAST thing i learned which really helped me progress in squats is to
-move hips BACKWARDS during downward flight.
not moving my hips hindered me from squatting close to ATG.
if you need help getting the hip motion down....try Good mornings. After doing GM's, which was just about 1.5 months ago, i can squat ALOT better now |

Anybody else ever notice their abs are especially ripped the morning after a night of dirnking?

ok so im 5'8 weighing in currently at 170ish (give take a couple pounds off) and my goal before new years is to get 200. and if i manage to get 200 i will stop taking gainer and start running all that weight and start my cutting phase by introducing cardio mostly everyday into my workout.
simply, would it make any difference if i were to stop at 180 rather than 200? im not doing any cardio right now since im not comfortable with my size
last year when i was serious i reached 195 and went 2x a day to the gym weekdays.
but i got lazy so im starting it back up, been going once a day (for almost 2 months); weekdays or try to anyways...

I'm pissed. I did legs the other day and didn't get sore at all because my workout buddy had to leave early and I was his ride.

I dont see the point of bulking up(putting on tons of weight, then cutting to look ripped). Its a waste of money and time. Also, if you do reach 200 by jan, its not pure muscle.
So your better off with lifting to increase lean muscle. Looks better too.
