Hey, guys!
Jeff Cavaliere here in the XBOX from ATHLEAN-X.com coming at you with a trap training workout.
You've asked for it, I've put one together for you and it's not the same old stuff that
you've probably been doing, because let's face it... traps have been an area that you've
been asking me about and I think a lot of people rely on shrugs.
Shrugs alone, for many reasons, aren't getting traps the way they need to.
I put together a little quick four-exercise circuit for you that I'm gonna show you right
here.
It's called my tremendous trap circuit.
Now it's gonna be a little unique, but we're only gonna use either a dumbbell or a kettlebell
and a piece of tubing, so you can do them anywhere.
Trap flies, 15 reps into rhomboid pushups times 15...shrug rows, we're gonna do 12 on
each side... ...and then a shrug swing that's gonna tie in the front delts into the traps.
Remember, when you're working your traps, you're gonna want to work the rhomboids and
its upper and lower trap together, if you really wanna have these things stand up.
So I'm gonna start by grabbing this piece of tubing and doing these trap flys.
So I'm gonna come back here and what we're gonna do is a reverse fly in and shrug as
I lift my arms higher as I go back.
So basically working in through here... [pause]
Again, pull in the shoulder base together and get a lift at the top.
So lift in at the top.
Right now into my rhomboid pushups...
So come down on the ground right here, let yourself collapse and then roll out, collapse
again, roll out.
You get the lower traps high in.
[pause] Ok, coming right up into what I call a shrug
row.
You're gonna do a row here, but you're gonna bring the shrug at the top.
Again, by tying in and not just going straight up here, by losing a lot of the motion from
the back...you'll be able to get it from this exercise.
So lean forward, come up and then shrug.
[pause] Alright, switch.
[pause] If you haven't got time, guys...and you only
do one, do that one.
It really ties in right through the neck and to the side.
And then the last one, the shrug swing...you can grab it from the side here.
You're gonna come up, swing and shrug in at the same time.
So shrug and swing.
[pause] So you get the idea, mix it up guys.
If you keep doing the same things you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting the same
you've been getting.
There's nothing that can be truer when it comes to working out.
If you're doing shrugs and you're not getting the results that you want, you gotta start
adding some creative alternatives that will actually ... ...not just be creative for the
sake of being creative, but actually produce more results.
Try to imagine this kind of workout.
This is the kind of stuff pulled from the ATHLEAN-X training system, that gives you
various ways with little equipment to give your body the shock that it needs to produce
more results.
So if you haven't already guys....look, time's running out, it's getting hotter, here in
Connecticut today is 85 degrees.
The summer's coming, you're gonna want to look good on the beach.
Get yourself in shape, get the ATHLEAN-X training system.
90 days from now you're gonna look your greatest.
So guys, I appreciate it.
Next week stay tuned, I got a real special guest coming by the XBOX to show off their
stuff and we're gonna make a video.
Until then, enjoy this.
I'll be back here shortly.
Thank you, guys!
