I tried a new trap (at least for me) exercise today and my traps are burning. I did a combination trap bar deadlift and upright row. I used the trap bar deadlift and when I came up, I continued to do "wide grip" upright row. There really isn't much range of motion and I couldn't handle that much weight for the upright row, but my traps are as sore as they have ever been. Has anyone else tried this?

Unfortunatley my gym doesn't have a trap bar. I like to do incline DB shrugs after any type of deadlift. Seems to complement each other well.

LOL, funny thing that actually infuriates me from time to time... I have a trap bar in my home gym, have for years... but I could probably count on my hands how many times I've used it - only because everything is always kept organized and in its place, and the trap bar has a holder on the back of the Smith Machine sort of out of sight (and out of mind). I will literally be 70% of the way through my trap regimen, and glance over to see the trap bay vertical in its holder, staring back at me, as if to say "Hey, what gives man!?" They're not cheap either... I have to attach some type of blinking neon sign to it from now on; maybe something with the silhouette of a dancer... or tape the Stealth bottle label on it, that would get my attention and also remind me how effective it is. Wink! |
