He's confusing the lower abs with a general V shape physique. For the latter swimming is good. As is everything that works the lats and shoulders really. For the first you need low body fat.

Considering my fat free muscle mass, i would have an insane V if i would cut down to 6%

But i'm at 19-20%



I find it funny that these frauds come up with excercises for that stuff, whilst the first rule is getting the correct fat%

 

[Dostoevsky]

I think you can get quite good V shape even with 8-9% of body fat.

 

[Zacheryah]

Offcourse, it should start to show at and under 12% without to much muscle work

Motherfucker goes and does 8 sets of shrugs with one of the only two goddamn barbells. Do they even do anything? Because it looks stupid as fuck.

They build your traps, 8 sets is exessive though. You need to build your traps to a, look balanced and b, squat.

But shrugs?? Surely there are better things for them.

That's pretty much the distance from one end of Brooklyn to the other

How else would you propose specifically working your traps?

No idea.

 

[Ford Prefect]

No idea.

Is the issue more that they were using the barbell when you wanted to, than the exercise they were doing with the barbell?

I finally started lifting seriously, I adjusted my diet, increased protein intake trough the whole foods and protein shakes (4-5 times per day), and I'm using creatine too, I'm in the third week of serious lifting and I see great progress, I've gained about 3kg's, and I feel great

Any type of deadlift is better, but deadlifts are a compound and dont isolate the trapezuis.

Barbell upright rows are a nice isolation excercise, but requite an easybar barbell

Barball shrugs are a good way to train dense, strong trapezuis cause you can increase the weight quite a bit. They arent that solated tho

Dumbell shrugs can be used in the beginning, as they can perfectly isolate the trapezuis



If you are not a powerlifter, shrugs and uprightrows are what you do for traps. And if you are a powerlifter, you will have done them before you became one.

now turn those 3 weeks in 3 months

then into 3 years.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

A kg a week? Sounds dirrrty

 

[Zacheryah]

70-85% Is water retention in the muscle trough increased complex carb intake and creatine usage

Wich is a good thing.

To do shrugs, yes. I see it as similar to using it for curls. There are only two barbells, go use the damn dumbbells for that. And not just me, also another guy that wanted to deadlift.

 

[Lion]

it's ur own fault for going to a poverty gym. even somalian gyms have more than 4 barbelss bro.

Most of it actually is a muscle memory, because I always had a good size, the only downfall to my training was consistancy, because I never managed to train for more than 3-4 months in a row.

 

[Zacheryah]

Muscle memory is good, but 3 kg a week is mostly water. But youll get there again if you keep it up
