training workout. You've asked for it, I've put one together for you and it's not the

same old stuff that you've probably been doing, because let's face it... traps have been an

area that you've been asking me about and I think a lot of people rely on shrugs. Shrugs

alone, for many reasons, aren't getting traps the way they need to. I put together a little

quick four-exercise circuit for you that I'm gonna show you right here. It's called my

tremendous trap circuit. Now it's gonna be a little unique, but we're only gonna use

either a dumbbell or a kettlebell and a piece of tubing, so you can do them anywhere. Trap

flies, 15 reps into rhomboid pushups times 15...shrug rows, we're gonna do 12 on each

side... ...and then a shrug swing that's gonna tie in the front delts into the traps. Remember,

when you're working your traps, you're gonna want to work the rhomboids and its upper and

lower trap together, if you really wanna have these things stand up. So I'm gonna start

by grabbing this piece of tubing and doing these trap flys. So I'm gonna come back here

and what we're gonna do is a reverse fly in and shrug as I lift my arms higher as I go

back. So basically working in through here... [pause]

Again, pull in the shoulder base together and get a lift at the top. So lift in at the

top. Right now into my rhomboid pushups... So come down on the ground right here, let

yourself collapse and then roll out, collapse again, roll out. You get the lower traps high

in. [pause]

Ok, coming right up into what I call a shrug row. You're gonna do a row here, but you're

gonna bring the shrug at the top. Again, by tying in and not just going straight up here,

by losing a lot of the motion from the back...you'll be able to get it from this exercise. So lean

forward, come up and then shrug. [pause]

Alright, switch. [pause]

If you haven't got time, guys...and you only do one, do that one. It really ties in right

through the neck and to the side. And then the last one, the shrug swing...you can grab

it from the side here. You're gonna come up, swing and shrug in at the same time. So shrug

and swing. [pause]

So you get the idea, mix it up guys. If you keep doing the same things you've been doing,

you're gonna keep getting the same you've been getting. There's nothing that can be

truer when it comes to working out. If you're doing shrugs and you're not getting the results

that you want, you gotta start adding some creative alternatives that will actually ... ...not

just be creative for the sake of being creative, but actually produce more results. Try to

imagine this kind of workout. This is the kind of stuff pulled from the ATHLEAN-X training

system, that gives you various ways with little equipment to give your body the shock that

it needs to produce more results. So if you haven't already guys....look, time's running

out, it's getting hotter, here in Connecticut today is 85 degrees. The summer's coming,

you're gonna want to look good on the beach. Get yourself in shape, get the ATHLEAN-X training

system. 90 days from now you're gonna look your greatest. So guys, I appreciate it. Next

week stay tuned, I got a real special guest coming by the XBOX to show off their stuff

and we're gonna make a video. Until then, enjoy this. I'll be back here shortly. Thank

you, guys!
