wat can i say besides... im a newbie![]()


better!


Haha, its not a problem. I enjoyed that question.
As a few general rules, in most cases:
Freeweights > Machines
Compound > Isolation
So a compound freeweight movement (Deadlifts) are far better than a machine isolation (Leg Curls).
Deadlifts are a bigger movement, utilizing far more muscles as well as stabilizing muscles, requires a greater amount of effort and concentration, so will yield greater results.

I don't waste my time with leg curls often. I mostly do deadlifts, and my hams look pretty good. Deadlifts and Squats.

Are deadlifts better than shrugs for upper trap?
If you are just starting out, going back to basics and doing these compound exercises, like deadlifts, are always better for EVERYTHING.
You can put in a wee shrug at the end of your deadlift.

nothing does traps like cleans do. they get so sore the next day. i feel like cleans work traps out more than doing bb shrugs.
