I haven't done shrugs in 2 years, but this exercise hits different... 


You gotta try this if you want a meatier upper back that fills out a dress shirt. 


This comment happened because I've been doing high incline dumbbell rows. 



You can think of it like a 'reverse dip'


Here's how you do them: 


1. set an incline bench to a high angle, 2-3 notches below vertical 
2. place your chest on the bench
3. pull the dumbbells up and to your sides

4. squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top 

5. control the weight all the way down 


You'll need to use less weight than you think. 


But 2 sets of these, done right to failure, will smoke your traps. 


I showed a full set in a recent video (Why Your Workouts Aren't Building Muscle)


Try it out in the gym today. 


Any questions let me know :)
