The short answer: steroids.

If you want the natural answer, watch this video.

I always had embarrassing traps compared to my arms(worked like hell for big arms) and shoulders(good shoulder genetics), that was until I started doing power cleans twice a week.

Well well well, meat heads. You brought the A-game today. My scrawny little tryranasaur hands applaud you. Very scientific, well thought out. #bringingSomethingNew.

Monopolizing 800 pounds of plates would get you tossed at most gyms.

I thought that the hands had to be wide for the rack pull? Your video shows them quite narrow and close to the body

Used to do boxing the neck thing is so true my traps blew up after I started doing power shrugs after not training traps for a while I already trained my neck a fair bit so true

Combining rackpulls into powershrugs?

Had this video saved for the longest — what he says is 💯 true. For about 6 months I didn’t workout my shoulders or did any ‘shoulder workout’ per say.. My traps were big only due to Deadlifts. As I completed the rep I’d hold on and just feel the weight hanging squeeezing my traps. I’ve never done rack pulls but I will now.

I’ve been doing these heavy rack pulls for 6 months and man this is spot on. My traps are getting huge and I’ve never been able to get results like this from shrugs and upright rows.

Brilliant 👍
I like what you have learned about training the Traps and I like how you convey it over to us watching. Your Traps look good too.
My confidence has been boosted training an impressive looking muscle group thank you. Great vid 🤔👍

He speaks sense recently started doing barbell shrugs with wraps lifting from above the knee and you can get the high volume but a he'll of a lot heavier than you thought . I was shrugging 35kg dumbels before using the barbell and wraps I'm doing sets with 180kg on and in recent months I see a big difference in trap size I also use the trap bar deadlift for a different hand position this again allows you to overload
