I'm trying to lose some weight so specialisation will have to wait. Q; when you say top triple on shrugs, what would the form be like there, should you still be able to hold the contraction? And have you ever tried snatch grip high pulls or regular high pulls for traps?

I referred him to your ADD program published last year on EliteFTS. <br />Would you make any changes to the program for a guy who’s just starting out, but is not-so-young? <br /><br />Thanks mate, not just for your response but for the ton of great info here. <br /><br />(And apologies for Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-76851708250495947642011-11-06T00:48:00.258-07:002011-11-06T00:48:00.258-07:00Hi Paul,

...Hi Paul,<br /><br />What do you think of the neck harness?<br /><br />I've got a TINY neck-- for the past year I've been using the neck harness (1x20,1xAMAP for neck extensions and flexions) 2-3x a week.

They all do the same thing. Namely work the rhomboids. I see it as important, just not something to fret over.
