Nothing screams "I can stomp a mudhole in your ass" like having huge shoulders and traps...

 

Say what you want about a big chest or big arms, but they don't strike fear in a man's heart quite like someone that has traps and delts like a damn gorilla!

 

I have been asked on numerous occasions what I do to build mine and my explanation might surprise you...

 

So here I go with my "Top 5 Rules for Building Hills on Top of Boulders" (delts and traps for those not in with my meat head lingo)... 

1) Never EVER Use Straps: You might think that this has more to do with grip, and you'd be right, but when you focus on grip it allows everything to radiate up to the shoulders and traps. Axe the the straps and your shoulders and traps will get jacked!!!

 

2) Do Overhead Press: This alone will do much of the trick. Great thing about doing any OH lift is that it won't just get your shoulders and traps big, it'll give you huge triceps and a huge back as well.

 

3) Do Pull Ups Like It's Your Job: This movement is right up there with OH press in its ability to make your entire back JACKED. Not just that either...if you want to have big biceps you will do these til you hate them...and the do some more!!!

 

4) Do Farmer's Walks: When you do farmers walks the RIGHT way, you will activate your traps and shoulders unlike any other exercise. It's one of many Strongman lifts that will do the trick, but unlike any others, it focuses PRIMARILY on engaging the traps, shoulders and upper back. Do these...get YOKED!!!

 

5) QUIT DOING SHRUGS: I can't tell you how many times I've had to deal with guys hurting themselves because of the imbalances they'v created while doing too many shrugs, or injuring themselves by doing them the wrong way. Delete these from your program and focus on the above exercises if you want to get REALLY jacked!!!

 

There you go SWOLEdiers...

 

If you want the real deal Holyfield, you'll take this advice and run with it!!!

 

Stay tuned for tomorrow for a sweet video!!!!

 

Stay Strong and Stay SWOLE!!!
