No, he is all yours. Or should I say, was all yours. I can't believe a highly motivated individual such as yourself would refuse such an award of such high importance.

True Story... lag sucks...

It also sucked neither of us could host and have the other join.

Seanp156 · 11-30-2006, 08:02 PM

Pretty good workout today... I decided to go heavy on trap bar deadlifts after doing front squats, for better or worse. Originally I had only planned to go to 315-335 for some speed sets of 3 or less reps, but I felt like going heavy once I started...

Front Squats
45lbs x 10
45lbs x 8
95lbs x 8
135lbs x 6
165lbs x 3
185lbs x 2 (warmups to here)
205lbs x 3 PR
205lbs x 2
185lbs x 4
185lbs x 4
135lbs x 10

Trap Bar Deadlifts: Not sure about the total weight on these... I asked one of the trainers there and he said he didn't know how much the bar weighed and told me to go weigh it. I asked another guy on staff I know at the desk and he said he didn't know for sure, but he thought he heard 85lbs, but said he thought that was too heavy... So, I weighed the bar on their scale and it was about 52lbs... I did some searching on the internet and was only about to find one website that listed the weight and it was 54lbs, but it was a different model... So... I guess I'll go with 52lbs.

142lbs x 10
232lbs x 3
282lbs x 3
322lbs x 2 sets x 3 reps (more or less speed deads off the ground)
372lbs x 1 - came up pretty fast, belt and chalk on here
412lbs x 1 - fairly good
452lbs x 0 - Grr, I could feel I was just about to break it off the ground, but had to give up... Would've been a PR

Reverse Hypers
20lbs x 8
50lbs x 12 (warmups)
70lbs x 3 sets x 10 reps

Decline Situps
25lbs plate x 2 sets x 20 reps
25lbs plate x 10 reps

BB Shrugs
135lbs x 10
185lbs x 6 (warmups)
225lbs x 15 (straps)
225lbs x 15 (straps)
135lbs x 20 (no straps)

Standing calf Raises
80lbs x 20
140lbs x 2 sets x 15 reps
100lbs x 20

stretch

Lawl.... I think I pulled my left trap a little bit doing shrugs... Nothing bad, but, yeah...

fufu · 11-30-2006, 09:09 PM

Nice workout! Got some new stuff going on.

I have tried shrugs and I hated them, I never felt my muscles fatigue. I didn't feel like I was accomplishing anything. Do you feel them in your traps when you do them?

Nate K · 11-30-2006, 09:23 PM

Nice lifts!
I love shrugs fufu, yeah feel them in the traps, of course.

Of all the shrugs I've tried, I actually like Hammer strength seated shrugs pretty well... Also, I like the seated cambered bar shrugs I do... I think higher reps like 12+ works best on them for me. I do them a weird way though, one of the guys showed me how to do them a certain way... He's the one that taught the group I train with a lot of what they know... He used to be a competitive bodybuilder and powerlifter... Not sure which he was first, but he won Mr. Ohio at some point.

Anyway, what I do with the seated cambered bar shrugs is take a high box (this kind isn't a solid box, it has legs so you can hold the bar underneath it). I have the bar under my legs and grab it with pretty much my fingertips... I do use somewhat of a circular motion when I do these, I squeeze the traps real tight for about 1 sec then let it back down... It goes against what some people preach here about just going "straight" up, but I honestly feel it in my traps more this way. Don't need much weight for the seated cambered bar shrugs either... 95-125 works fine for me right now.

AndrewSS · 11-30-2006, 10:25 PM

I wanna see those cambered bar shroogs, I havnt shrooged for a while and I kinda agree with fufu the normal ones dont seem all that great, to me at least

KelJu · 11-30-2006, 10:56 PM

Other than hitting your traps more, is there any advantage of using trap bar deads over straight bar? Why do more people use straight bar? If the added variation helped out, I bet it would be good to switch from straight bar to trap bar between each other each workout.

I don't know that I would say a trap bar hits your traps more when deadlifting, it's called a trap bar because it's used for shrugs by a lot of people... Deadlifting with it is quite a bit different than with a straight bar since the weight distribution is more centralized instead of a little more in front of you.

That being said, I think I'm actually more comfortable with a straight bar since I've used it more... The trap bar I've read is supposed to alleviate lower back stress, but I thought I felt it more when using it tonight... Also, in the past I've found it hit my quads some too, but I didn't notice that as much tonight, maybe since I did front squats first.
