I find working in customer service helps with my traps. I constantly shrug my shoulders!

[@Minyon3579]

The elbow thing is huge. I've always felt like I couldn't fully engage traps and that made a big difference. Thanks brother!

[@Elluzive]

Hey, I implemented your techniques for lateral raises and rear delts and it has made a world of difference. Combined with frequency, my delts are developing better than any other point in my lifting life.

[@SethFeroceOfficial]

Elliot Maverick fuckin A bro! That is awesome! Glad it helped!

[@isaid1218]

[@tommydshelby5311]

Nabil Arifi buff dude? You must be Muslim?

[@yasinjama5551]

Acc subscribed him for that same reason he's explicit !!

[@Scruffy77]

Wowwww game changer. Had a hard time feeling traps being worked but this helps a ton. Thanks!

[@SethFeroceOfficial]

Scruffy77 hell yes!

[@funnychoob]

Thank you Seth! I have always hated traps because i barely ever felt them

[@sanderhuisson6041]

Scruffy77 6

[@MetroCollectablesandvlogs]

Gotta try this. I have them, just need to take to the next level. I was doing exactly what Seth was saying in the beginning. Must try lol

[@UntamedTrails101]

Keep up the good work. Since i ran in to your KZbin channel my day in the gym is never thesame again and my gains is out of this world. Thank you so much for your invaluable knowledge you share with the world.

[@clintonalderman1824]

That moment you find out you’ve been doing shrugs wrong for years now.

[@steelersnorth2914]

Another great video. He has a direct, no nonsense way of explaining exercises.

[@ThreeTonDinobot]

I just watched this video last night because I had traps tonight. I used to have a tough time feeling my traps... not anymore! And I had a crazy nasty pump on in my traps today. Big thanks Seth, you the man!

[@tomhines3404]

Seth, I love the way you teach! Please keep making videos!

[@studhammer]

These videos give some of the best advice I've ever seen and I've been in the BB game for over 20 years.

[@t.j.5574]

Personally, I find dumbbell shrugs way more effective than barbell. I like my arms by my side rather than in front of me.

[@dwayneharvey5152]

Thanks bro!! I ran across this vid by faith I guess. I tried the movement you stated and even without weight I feel them firing. I’m used to doing them the way you illustrated most people do and even though I use up to 110’s I don’t get the pump I should. I will definitely be doing it this way. Thanks 👍🏾

[@stianhelldiver3819]

It's a simple movement, dumbbell shrugs. But there are so many keypoints for a DS in this video. Thanks Seth!

[@ryanburrier4883]

Great vid. I never really got a good burn in my traps until I stared using your technique.....now my traps are always sore as shit the day after. Have to admit it feels pretty awesome. Your vids are definitely motivating

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

I tried this technique today for the first time. Kind of needs getting used to coming from the perspective of hanging the arms perfectly straight and just shrugging straight up. I will know tomorrow how well this technique works after I wake. It kind of tells me how well it worked by the soreness and tightness the next morning. I know that sound crazy....

[@SethFeroceOfficial]

Harley Rider no bro that doesn't sound crazy. That is the best way to make a judgement call from my standpoint. Everything I do is based on personal feel. If it doesn't feel right or not working, and I have to be real with myself not just do because it is hard or don't like it, then I move on to something different. Don't lose that quality. I honestly believe that today so many people follow the norm because it's the norm. Not because they like it or because it works. That is one of the main reasons I started making these videos. Thank you for the comment and hope these vids help man! 💪

[@darkgrandpriest1645]

Just Another Over Taxed Tax Payer that's exactly how you know! When ever I try something new and don't feel the pimp or sore the next day I feel like I failed.#Trusttheprocess

[@peanutbutter7357]

I find straight arms are better than slightly bent, just so i feel the weight in my traps rather than my forearms

[@jimmorrison3927]

I think that each way hits the traps differently...maybe do a set where you bend the arms and a set where you keep them straight...

[@artie3258]

I like the way you go in to great detail about what you are doing and why you're doing it. Very good explanation and easy to follow.

[@rugdoc97]

Thanks Seth huge help buddy! I wish i watched this sooner

[@PersonalFitness3]

The slight adjustment with bending the arms really makes a difference. Another great video.👍

[@mangear2851]

You are a good teacher. I thoroughly enjoy your lessons. Thank you.

[@unapologeticallyauthentic1888]

This guy is truly authentic. To BS with him. Finally a great follow.

[@robertarrington5325]

If anybody hasn't told you... you are a great teacher! Thanks!

[@raajcprem]

Seth, I love your way of explaining tips, moreover I like your typical New York accent. I just love it. Whenever I listen to you, I feel I am in New York. Thanks bro you the best. Prem India.

[@5corneralebrigade]

No bullshit Seth’s videos absolutely not just helped me get out of fitness rut, but actually helped me more to get through some serious shit storms recently. I fucking mean that. THANK YOU! I’m doing my part to pay it forward.

[@frankie7033]

I like the Dumbbells also for traps. The barbell is always a back issue.

[@jessebradford3900]

Same here. There’s a problem when you have a little fear doing an exercise. I feel I’m taking a chance. Which takes the fun out of it obviously.

[@Hohmies86]

SETH, I have been doin rack pulls and farmers walks and traps have grown faster than ever! I will be adding this to my repertoire fosho

[@dirtmcgirt01]

Hohmies Mcfly stick with rack pulls, farmers walks and start deadlifts if you're not already. If your not deadlifting learn how, start easy and do it right. Shrugs alone don't cut it for big traps. Train your neck with the neck flex or a standard head harness.

[@GForceIntel]

dirtmcgirt01 You sound like you watch alphadestiny

[@dirtmcgirt01]

GForceIntel I have and it lead me to a lot of other channels that revolve around powerlifting and strong man. Alpha destiny learned that the power lifting movements and strong man movements make you strong and make you look strong. I take bits and pieces away from all these KZbin channels and apply to myself. You could get jacked from bench press, dead lift, overhead press, and squat alone. Take those 4 and it's variations and design your own routine based off it. Using assistance exercises that carryover to the 4 main lifts and focusing on getting strong at those will make a guy look like a brick shit house. When's the last time someone saw a power lifter or strongman competitor and said "gee, that guy looks like a pussy".

[@geetambaishya4476]

what do you guys think the weight in the rack pull should be to have decent traps?

[@Hohmies86]

yan kashyap well I just spent 8 months in federal prison and we had a weight pile there and I was able to do rack pulls and farmers walks, I worked up to doing it every other day and after a month and a half they grew and grew, other inmates thought I was stupid but soon saw I was not. Always upping the weight and murdering the traps every session. But no matter what if you don't take in lots of protein you will not grow. I became very in tune with my body and how different foods help. Sweet potatoes are gold for energy

[@kennethsparks4366]

Finally, I started doing my shrugs like this awhile ago once I learned more of how the traps are shaped but most videos just show the generic way to shrug db or bb. Thanks!

[@Williamsmith-bb3zd]

This guy is a master! Really makes the mind muscle connections!!!

[@TriggerHappy007]

Thank you. Very nice instructions and details! It's nice to take advice from someone who obviously knows what they're talking about

[@MylotheMask]

This is a great technique, never heard this one before, defo on my to do list👍

[@ptrainingbytim]

You Sir have some of the best shoulders I've ever seen. Thank you for your tips. Blessings from NORCAL!

[@jimb4547]

Excellent as usual Seth!!!! 👍

[@Apollocreed2076]

I experimented with the dumbbell shrugs a few years ago and wound up doing them like how Seth said and it worked for me. People would ask me why I did them like that but it just felt good. I just saw this and I've been doing them correctly after all. I call them TSA's since it feels like carrying luggage, lol.

[@_ErIc1976]

Dude you always have the greatest training suggestions and your work ethic is awesome. Thanks for always keeping it real

[@romeomk510]

I can't wait to try this. This guy has already helped me finally get my quads AND my delts to start growing the way I want them to. *Seth Feroce is the fucking TRUTH.*

[@alexdewar5311]

Never seen a exercise video explained so well and I'm subscribed to a alot , nice one! 💪

[@ohadorfelli]

Seth, you are so Awesome. i swear

[@gautammahajan3214]

Bro that is too awesome. Already feeling that pump. Man d way u xplain things is juz xceptional good work bro.. Ur doing a grt deed man.helping all the begginers in a such a way is life saving. Thx for all dese videos.

[@AshsFool]

This is a fantastic exercise. I've used this for a few years with a slight variation. It is the exact movement except the shoulders are moving in a "J" formation. At the top of the movement your chest should be out, delts squeezed back and up with the bent elbows. Just throwing it out there.

[@praiseshiva108]

what a huge difference this video made! Would love to see some lower body instructionals.

[@BruceBrazen2288]

Best video on KZbin for traps - thanks Seth!

[@LeeHoMusic]

Seth is the man, no one explains exercises such clearly as him. top physique btw, I like the beard too

[@Yourshortspk]

Nice bro i like your body so much all thr best. i just started body building one month before just following your instruction and it really works thanks

[@INKTALOVR1]

This proves that Bro Science works as long as you have the mental capacity to analyze other people and logically break down their movements. 👍

[@reints74]

I incorporated these techniques & shoulders are growing. Great advice & breakdown!

[@DarioLovesGod]

Thanks for the video. I’m new to weight lifting and all I have is dumbbells so I appreciate this video.

[@Jlitt-yw2zm]

Thank you bro 👍👍 I have been doing shoulder shrugs incorrectly this whole time

[@marcosotelo71]

Thank you for the tips and the thorough explanation and visual motion demonstration. By far some of the most helpful advice I've seen :)

[@ParvParashar]

Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks! 🙏

[@rickycalderon6220]

This dude gives really good advice and tips.thanks bro.

[@LeonardTaylor700]

I went from 167lbs last 2018 with batteries in pocket to now 205lbs here 2019... I owe a lot of this change to muthfuckin SETH DA Beast ( that’s what I call him ) Thank you brother.... much love

[@angeldiaz4790]

Thank you brother!! I enjoy watching your videos and adding to the arsenal

[@brents4225]

"So i'll usually just warm up with the 80's"

[@Mustlehard]

I’m 150 and even I can do the 80s 😂

[@gotohellfast]

Following all of your advise and got great results, please load up vids more frequently!

[@garywoodward847]

Great video. I'll be trying this tomorrow at the gym.

[@Dawgz15]

thanks for the advice! this seems like a much better form.

[@ScantlessBeatz]

You just confirmed what I been doing in my work outs

[@1XNoobSkillzX1]

Honestly you give the best tips learned so much from you thank you!

[@madrid556]

thank you! finally a real demonstration!

[@jbenabe6241]

Seth, one thing that body builders dont do is tell people that they MUST do blood work evry three months when injecting anything. I LITERALLY saved a life bcuz i take test and i know the effects. I started talkung to newbie doing test and Dianobol, i asked him what doctor is monitoring this. He said no one why" i asked how long have you bern injecting, he said 8 months. I told him what happened to me High Hemo and im glad he took my advice. His hemo was at 20. nutz! Anyways he donated a lot of blood and it worked for him and now a doc monitors it. Can you warn your viewers? Especially 1st timers.

[@varunharry]

You have excellent definitions

[@frankiefrank4853]

Seth with the single-handed-double-thumbs-up

[@GQ3MindSpeaks]

Thank you for this video. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.

[@KippaxInThailand]

Thanks always look forward to your videos every time you post a new one.

[@brianjohnson148]

Dude, I think these work outs are even helping you get a fuller, rounder beard lol. I need a video on how to get that. Seriously though, I am gonna start using your ideas and work outs. Just subscribed!!

[@jonathanflores2187]

priceless information...this is gold right here.

[@numberonealbino84]

thanks for showing the rep from the front, i get the elbow movement now. and thanks for sharing.

[@jakethemuss3]

Excellent advice.

[@criticalcog6363]

Searched how to grow traps, scrolled past all the popular fitness channels pushing their traps up with shoulder blades, clicked on the video with the dude with truly big traps, was not disappointed with the result.

[@alialmaidan8472]

i was doing it wrong all these years but thanx to seth il start doing it right and get that blood pumping into my traps.

[@avalerionbass]

I like this guy, he doesn't give off that meathead douchey vibe that a lot of other trainers have. Pretty chill and extremely jacked dude.

[@jennybengtsson1223]

If you confident in yourself which he probably is you dont need to give of that vibe to feel good about yourself

[@hooverelondono9946]

Great elbow tip great tip 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@rickygonzalez1545]

did your shldr routine tonight awesome,love your vids ,easy to follow ,learn thanks

[@davidclark6172]

Thanks Seth makes a lot of sense you showed it perfectly

[@ChunkyPuffsRaichu]

Got my sub so fast, wow. Thank you Seth. Sincerely, a weightlifting novice

[@SteelBlueVision]

Wow, the elbows slightly bend trick is awesome. I actually never realized this and always did them straight armed. You can definitely feel a much MUCH greater trap contraction if you slightly bend your elbows at the top. This is because it turns out that the traps are not being fully contracted unless you get your elbows bent and behind your body. Try it! Do a straight arm shrug, then at the top push your elbows up and back. You can only get maybe a 10-20 degree backward angle with your upper arms, but man do your traps feel it! I am left wondering if doing this contracts more of the middle part of the traps and not just the upper parts, which is why you feel them more. But, who cares, more trap activation is good trap activation.

[@Cre8Thought41]

Well hell to the yes!!! Good vid with demo and explanation. Short, sweet and to the point. Damn right! Thanx.

[@ctdvargas]

I love that this is possible completely natural.

[@rmb7247]

you seem like there's a little more then bro science behind your ideals. I understand what your saying...I used to make sure I had a pump, since everyone is different I figured you might need to tweak some stuff to fit your body...I used to get great pumps and grow better faster more whole. I used to bend he elbows a little bit. I'm glad I watched this. thank you.

[@WorstDudeEvr]

Damn I wish I would have found you earlier. You're an amazing coach with a wonderful personality. Keep up the good work brother. Fuck yea!

[@jaco1318]

I agree. This is exactly how I do it!

[@maverickboone1564]

Facts...I found this out with the trap bar

[@ontherun365]

Good, simple, easy to follow video. Thanks

[@EpicMushroom27]

Seth Feroce, Athlean X, James Grage, Nippard, Damien Patrick & Vintage Genetics are probably the best fitness youtube channel game.

[@ethantucker2929]

Nice one Seth, you're the man

[@Veedub112]

Great video, too many people just push weight, not knowing how to train the muscle group. When you workout people have to learn how to train the mind along with the muscle. This is how you get a good workout. Way to may ego lifters that never see results.

[@CarbonGearSolid]

Vincent Wright You said it well!

[@AbdulKhan-ve4hx]

Thanks Seth will defo give it a go man appreciate it!

[@jennybengtsson1223]

Impressive not only traps but shoulders and arms

[@southkc77]

Thanks for walking trap workout out in full . I appreciate you showing technique also

[@TopNotch78]

Thanks Seth !

[@bykrydr1380]

Enjoyed ur video. Makes sense. I too have had to alternate, or make my own way differ from videos and talk with others. I believe the elbow slight bend is the ticket! Isolates big time! I would also say(in my humble opinion and experience only) that heavy weights is not always the way. Get way more out of good solid high reps than sloppy heavy low reps. Most time when heavy the shoulders want to take over the work load. Excellent video and honesty. U da man!

[@slayingwolf953]

dude thanks for the tip I have been looking for trap workouts and your is the best

[@stevendomenech7405]

Excellent video

[@joelmunoz4816]

your videos help alot. thanks for filming

[@0-60STYLE]

Seth is my savior! This dude tells you HOW to lift and he's already where you want to be. Nobody else gives you real info like this.

[@benjaminlahsen6721]

Clear explanation 💪🏽💪🏽 gonna try this

[@willman43]

Fuck yeah, and this easy to follow instruction is why I watch your channel.

[@twacha007]

I like all your videos
