Hallo you my friend savage 💖💪👍

Antonio Ramirez 👋💪👊

[@Steven-yi2re]

Been doing these 2 weeks now.. best trap exercise ever. My traps are getting much thicker , and it’s filling in all around the collar bone too. No more 35 40 kilo shrugs with no results, those 2 exercises are amazing and I don’t have to go as heavy . Traps looking great especially in a T-shirt,

[@danw8012]

This movement makes sense you can see the traps working better. I did this today for the first time....OMG. What a difference. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us all.✌

[@muscleandstrength]

That's whats up! Glad we could help! 💪

[@akshays4709]

@@muscleandstrength iam doing the first exercise for traps from two months along with other exercises like behind the back barbell shrugs upright row but I am not able to see traps development I am also following diet protein carbs fats. could you please guide how I can develop my traps.when i perform these exercises i feel the muscle working and can see the muscle pump up

[@Steven-yi2re]

@@muscleandstrength thanks for this tip, at last, I’m seeing some thickness to my traps, never really had that before. 👍🏻

[@justbecause4042]

Whenever you see the words ‘how to’, ‘traps’ and Johnnie Jackson, you watch! No questions asked.

[@muscleandstrength]

Mas Chingon yep! 💪💪

[@antwandarellefenton]

Definitely

[@JSJS23]

Yes sir , the best in the business

[@tonyrogo227]

The first excecise really helped out alot as I have a hard time doing normal shrugs. Thank you for sharing this.

[@muscleandstrength]

Thanks for watching! Glad we could help!

[@kengreenwell9854]

Don't swing

[@beewalk34]

Johnnie was the first IFBB pro I've met. He was guest posing at my training partner's show back in 07. Awesome dude! Some of the best traps of any era!!!

[@user-ne9oj1tz8l]

And during all this exercises you constantly have to listen Trap Music

[@muscleandstrength]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kyleolin3566]

Guess I'll never get traps...

Kudos to Johnnie. Here is a guy that just loves to train. Always one of my favorite (power) bodybuilders. Keep on pushing sir!

[@muscleandstrength]

Old school work ethic no doubt! Thank you for watching!

[@Keezy410]

Guys dont listen . It's a Trap. Yes this is a play on words

[@muscleandstrength]

Malachi Gary I see what you did there

[@thegreat1009]

Yeah do some synthetine shots get your fat percent down and do steroids with a lot of heavy shrugs

[@thegreat1009]

That's how you get big traps, and another thing try to do the site injections around the Trap area ,syntheselen could be used also

[@M3Lucky]

Hahaha. Haha. Ha. Yes, very funny.

[@alilkrazyndn7335]

Hahahahahaha.....

[@chunt6352]

Rumor is that the traps grew Johnnie O’s body to be strong

[@muscleandstrength]

🤣🤣🤣

[@orlandogonzalez9360]

LMAO !

[@orlandogonzalez9360]

For Halloween I heard that he dressed his left trap up as the devil and the right one up as an angel. HAHA

[@muscleandstrength]

Orlando Gonzalez 🤣🤣🤣

[@RedfishCarolina]

I tried this first one today. Took me a while to get the form correct such that I connected with the traps, but once I did, it really burned. Excellent video!

[@DadBodFit]

I love your no BS approach. You don't get overly scientific to sound smart. You just say stuff that's correct and have the history to back it up.

[@kingj.q.198]

Wow!!!!! I've never seen the first exercise that was amazing. Thank you Johnny great video.

[@muscleandstrength]

Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

They asked the best person for this. Those traps live a life of their own.

💪💪💪 We knew what we were doing 😉

[@ramborocky4027]

Big thanks man, I've been rocking the rowing shrug in my routine and I'm definitely seeing results.

[@COACH_ANTHONY_MMA]

THIS WAS PURE GOLD I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU FOR OVER 20 YEARS

[@Y_fitness]

Need more content from him, so simple and precise

[@renzohenson7445]

All of these exercises are great for traps, but at the end of the day genetics play a big part in the size of your traps, look at all of the other Pro bodybuilders and I'm pretty sure they work their traps out ,probably with the same exercises and they have noway near the size of traps Jonny has. I was a few years behind NFL player Takeo Spikes in High school and I remember his massive neck and traps were like that back in Grade school, it was something he was born with

[@josephlabajosa4075]

Yeah, just just look at kai greene. The dude is a mass monster but there are guys in 212 with more developed or even bigger traps than him. It's probably the reason why his back lat spread look weird in my opinion.

[@muscleandstrength]

Lorandy Henson genetics definitely play a role but doesn’t hurt to know how to maximize what you got

[@johnramrod4413]

Steroids help as well

[@seheadhunter50]

Its a muscle. Train it harder and it grows better. Go back to science class.

[@k1ngwad383]

I'm not sure why they say not to bend the elbows but I did the upright behind the back with elbow bend and dumbbells...the stretch is insane! I actually got the idea from Mike O'Hearn using a Shrug Machine inverted for the same movement. You will not be disappointed. Love the work and tips Johnnie! Mans a legend 🔥

[@adamrojas3543]

J.J I don't know if you read these, but I've had big traps my whole life. Ever since I been doing your workout they have grown a lot more. Your awesome bro thanx 💪💪💪

[@TaxEvasi0n]

First exercise might be the best trap and mid upper back exercise. I have really weak and underdeveloped rhomboids, so incorporating the row movement would be great to help get more volume.

[@WHEREVER-I-ROAM]

I HEAR YOU on the SO WHAT !!! SOOOO TRUE THANKS

[@muscleandstrength]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidglabais4919]

Best traps hands down. You're a beast man. Great exercises!

[@SoggySlopster]

Love it. The video is short and to the point.

[@rome2989]

Trap God!!!

[@muscleandstrength]

💪💪💪

[@daltonschannel8405]

Oh wow!! Just sitting here in my chair doing that first dumbbell exercise movement I can see this being effective for traps and the tip for bending the elbow's while doing reverse shrugs also. Thanks for the tips. Cheer's!!

[@JustAGuyNamedBrett]

I did this and i woke up with my ENTIRE traps sore. Not just the top but all the down the top of my back and across the back of my shoulders. Total trap workout!

[@gymforlife70]

These are perfect ways to get proper trap muscles

[@madlifts1]

Excellent speech on why ppl use machine than freeweight. I myself have been using machine for a long time,because of joint pains when going to heavy.

[@muscleandstrength]

💪💪💪

[@dano7989]

This is the first video of yours I've ever seen and it was great! Thank you sir!

[@Steven-yi2re]

Seen this type of shrug been done when I first started lifting, but you never see people doin this seated shrug these days, started doing these afew weeks ago and it really hits the traps very effectively, thanks, it makes sense, hitting the traps from where they begin, oldskool body building is the best, the worst thing to come in to lifting was science. Oldskool is the best.

[@jessebrown1400]

Awesome! TY Johnnie! I use your butt off the seat leg extensions trick all the time. It gives me a crazy burnout set on quads. I am going to try the seated row shrug you demonstrated here. You are the man!

[@xxxKorruptxxx]

legend bro love how you teach and pass on knowledge, youre a beast !

[@rahulsawant8369]

Thats Humungous Traps, Definitely making him stand out!!! Plus the first exercise was really a different approach and inspiring it will better target trap growth.

[@troyhand3296]

Respect bro straight to the point no pissing about with do this or do that 👊

[@MrRayaan]

Close to what i was doing but definitely like the last one with the barbell and the shoulder dumbell kickbacks.

Best very useful exercise that helps me a lot...Love u from India...

Best traps in bodybuilding history 💪

Thankyou for first exercise, gonna add this to my trap workout ✌️ peace from the u.k

[@redcat608]

Deadlift using heavy weight with a prolonged pause at top. Framers Carries with heavy weight for distance. Power Cleans. Bigger and functional traps.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Great too. Also carrying waight helps

[@muscleandstrength]

Absolutely! Farmers walks/carries are great trap exercises

[@cornflaker22]

After hitting traps, I like to stand in doorways with my traps bulging like Mt.Kilimanjaro and scream “you’re trapped” at everyone

[@HammaTime422]

these are the only muscles i cant get any growth on. bies, tries, chest, shoulders, quads, calfs glutes, never had an issue gaining but after all these years training i literally have no traps at all and ive shrugged for years. going to try this and see if FINALLY it works.

[@wearerockstarz85]

The first shoulder excercise mimics like when I use my wheelchair. That's so crazy!

[@emmgee1]

No disrespect bro but most guys I kno in wheel chairs definitely have traps bro and arms

Trap is really a back muscle, more on the back shoulder. I do close hand pushups and dips... works for me

[@Anthony-hm6df]

Liked the video before I watched it, great video

[@tylercunningham4311]

The problem with regular shrugs is that you can't quite hit it in the rear, you have to get some kind of front to back movement by either leaning forward, face down on incline bench, etc.
