"You should ask me how I deal with myself, I have to hang out with myself in my head all day long" I was not expecting that giggle or that existential crisis today, but you'd think I'd be used to that by now watching Dr. Mike.
I love how Mike gives an F to deadlifting in his hypertrophy guide then its first on the list here. I can attest to the fact that doing it for years will give you a good looking back. I only even do sets of 4 to 6 at that.
I think the traps make you look way more jacked than delts once you have even a modicum of delt. You can be average in delts but have those huge powerlifter traps and look like an absolute monster.
@@liquidcancer4573 yup... i didnt train traps in my first year of training. I have always looked bulky, but after training only delts i started looking like those tiktok ****boys. I think it is because having only delts makes your shoulders look more bony and feminine. Fun fact, i have started a traps and neck programs ONLY this year, because i dont have time to train every muscle. Been on this program for a month and i already look insane... me neck has grew an inch, which might not sound like much but it makes HUGE difference...
@@GoldenStoicYo dude care to spill the program you're talking about? I've trained both before and got very good results with neck, whereas my traps are still that of a 10-year old girl
This is why I love watching Dr Mike aside from his experience and knowledge he has everyone on his channel especially woman bodybuilders reasons why he is a amazing teacher! I started with traps from crew so I'm all about it thank you Mike!
Big fan of the Super ROM Lateral Raises since you first showed them off. I'll switch to regular lateral raises when I can't go all the way up and the pump after makes me look like one of Dr. Mike's over-inflated blow-up dolls.
@@kalux4305 Traps take over at the top, not front delts. Front delts have nothing to do with moving your arms in towards your head from the side. Trap fibres run down from the neck as well as out to the side. Lateral delts don't do much at the top, but that's why he recommended this exercise in a video about... *drum roll*... TRAPS.
Compliments to the camera guy for keeping an obstruction between her butt and the eyeline during deadlifts. It kept the focus on watching the back muscles move and avoided the trap (see what I did there?) of making an educational video an exploitative one. 💚🤘
I am going to try the Y raises. Shrugs are a given but the Y raises look really effective. I love this channel, I learn a new exercise or a new methodology daily here.
If you want to look bigger without being big overall, then really train your upper traps. I encountered many people with a thinner physique with strong upper traps and to me they always look legitimately tougher than your typical pretty bodybuilder with big biceps, chest and lats. As mentioned, Tom Hardy is a great example. His Bane looked bigger than he actually was mostly because of his massive traps, regardless he wasn’t muscularly bigger than Batman/Bruce Wayne.
@@frydac there are women who use that are even smaller than her. So that means nothing. Size isn’t the only thing that indicates using, especially for women
Hey, I really appreciate your videos, they are amazing and I am grateful you are providing your knowledge now, I've gained strength twice before up to 260 but I over trained alot, I just got a job as a background actor and I hope to move farther in the industry as a main actor, I'll go to your videos to optimize a better work outnplan
I read an article by Poliquin years ago where he recommended a full 5 second hold at the top for shrugs. That was when my traps finally started growing. And yes Y-raises like you showed in the video are absolutely awesome.
Thanks Dr. Mike, these videos are always a pleasure to watch....gotta pay to play in my book, so I ordered some Versagrips from your store.....my kids will give them to me for Christmas. Iron Dog Gym approves!!!
for shrugs I like sttrapping into a smith machine, leaning way forward before unracking so the safety bars dont interfere with the lift. easiest way to really overload the traps I find
I thought I was working my traps pretty well, but this video was so informative. And DLB has the absolute best physique for this video, every muscle is so clearly defined
Got my rob baraban chest expander June 2023. Went from 3 springs to 6 on horizontal and 4 to 7 springs on top down/ vertical at 142lbs body weight. My rear delts are awesome, but traps were lacking some until I added shrugs at the top of deadlifts like Eric bugenhagen. I definitely credit my definition in my upper back/rear delts to the expander though.
@nevinwhite2371 i got mine summer of 23 and i do seven springs on just about everything . I take em behind my neck and press straight out both sides i try to do 3 sets of 15 and i get a huge pump in my traps. I can feel my traps working it's better than any shrugg!
Damn I laughed so hard, Mike is the best. I was already doing trap shrugs with a 2 seconds hold before the eccentric because it felt right so I m very glad to see Dr Mike suggesting it as well
Totally, and any type of heavy shrug or row with some slop in the form. Mike doesn't even have good traps and he's enhanced, has been enhanced for 10+ years. I think this video is a total waste of time. If you're natural, you're not going to grow your traps beyond noobie gains with the advice in this video.
this was some awesome info but also hilarious! watching DLB not know what to make of Mike, and then totally getting into it and giving right back was equally hilarious!
This is most trapalicious video ever! And since we are going for super high level content for advanced lifters and athletes. If I were to contribute anything it would be a weight bearing scapular depression at the very end. Such as a just pushing the scapula down while in a locked out bench dip position and then sinking into the stretch. This allows the upper trap to be an antagonist while the GHJ is weightbearing. It does wonders for the sensory motor coordination and recovery. (Just a humble suggestion) Mad love Brother!
Have you ever noticed that strongmen tend to have huge upper traps? My guess is that hinging movements (like deadlifts) + their gear stack are the golden ticket to trap city. Doesn’t seem like they do shrugs at all.
It's loaded carries. The heavy weighted stretch is what grows the traps, not the stupid paused shrugs and Y raises in this video unless you're a total noob. Menno Henselmans had a much better video on trap training. You need to punish your traps with heavy weight when they're stretched. And yes, that includes power shrugs. Mike may not understand them, but trying to control a supramaximal load on the eccentric is what demolishes the traps, not the contraction. Just look to Mike's physique, his trap development is weak and he's enhanced and supposedly an expert on this stuff.
Dr.Mike, at 53, I’ve eliminated deadlifts all together. Even though I have always had great form, my lower back is ruined for days after. However, what lights my traps up incredibly have been wide grip rack pulls into a shrug. Amazing connection without the annoyance of lower back strain for us older dudes.
I was going to say this but you beat me to it! Sadik does a shrug with an abduction of the arms while lifting does it good and Charles glass has a stretching style shrug too with internal rotation of arms @ bottom.
I like what Dr Mike says here about feeling out the excercise not being so by the book to know what is working best and complete the set or move to another excercise if you need to finish so true!
Hey Dr Mike, has the literature on squeezing at the contraction changed? I know in the past you and Jared talked about how it’s a waste of time and it just zaps your energy but it seems like the squeeze was emphasized more here
@@marcush5453 She's a gd liar who deserves all the criticism she gets. I have zero respect for liars and if you can't see through her BS then you are part of the problem.
Fascinating details but what I'm taking home is that about two thirds of the exercises I already do are hitting my traps without specifically targeting my traps. Same goes for for spinal erectors, you just can't not hit them with most exercises. Might as well try to isolate every muscle on your body but if you just get yourself into the gym and you work hard, you're doing what you need to do.
I don't train them specifically either after hearing Dr Mike saying you don't need to. I was assuming that my rowing exercise twice a week and my SLDLs once per week were hitting them enough. My upper traps usually feel hammered after SLDL. It worries me a bit though as I do an UL routine so my back feels like it's taking a pasting constantly.
@@yveslauriou Nah, that shit will break you in the medium term. People are fucking up their bodies believing shit said by instragram influencers without any qualifications.
I don't know if anyone sees this but I been training traps in the standing calf raise for a year now and love it. Also super setting it with calfs allowing me to save time and I do 240 pounds and sucks to set up with plates
I feel like such an idiot for not realizing I could just get free trap training by shrugging during Romanian deadlifts. Theoretically DB Bulgarians split squats too but that exercise is soul sucking enough already😳
What's been great for my traps are moves like loaded carries, rack pulls and cleans. I've never done a single shrug, except if you count the shrugging movement in a power clean.
You merely adopted the trapezius. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see bro splits until I was already a man and by then it was nothing but plateaus.
