@Luko Lisica You need like 6 hours of deep sleep to get you muscles to grow as fast as possible OF COURSE the right Food provided. 1,2 g Protein per pound of Bodyweight
Id personally like a video on this aswell as obv it had an affect, id simply like to know more about the science behind it and some actual studies/figures. As those of us that are parents to little ones it kind of sucks to just constantly hear ‘you piss away muscle if you dont get perfect sleep’ its like oh great thanks 😂
Love how he includes the “bro” version of the exercise in all his videos. Such helpful information! Absolutely love the channel, and I have learned an incredible amount!
I really need to say thank you so much for this video! I’ve been struggling with traps for a few months now, but since I’ve lowered my weight and focused on that scapular movement, my shrugs became way more effective. I was caught up in the old advice of going super heavy on shrugs that I never noticed my form was lacking.
Are you stewpid? This is a bodybuilding channel? Also look at the thumbnail next time.. fucking stewpid guy..omg lol, why are u trying 2 trap animels anywey
Literally the most precise, detailed and comprehensive tips on the right form of shrugs. No other shrugs or trap building video on YT will beat this. Nice one mate👏
Jeff I'm worried you might develop a muscle imbalance in your neck!! I noticed in these Technique Tuesday videos you always sit at the same angle (toward your right side) Don't forget to switch it up! 😁
@@HobbitLord1248 I just pointed that out, not hate. I watch him anyway. And when he did interview with AlphaDestiny, he should be aware of how to or what works best for bigger cobra traps for naturals... And comparing to others, and how he looks (body/neck/traps ratio) his traps are really small.
Jeff, technique Tuesday is one of the best series I’ve come across in a while on UA-cam. Great production, editing, graphics, and explanation. A lot of fitness YT don’t go into the details of form like you and IMO it’s one of the most important things for the gym. Thanks for the hard work!
Do I click dislike button with my left or right pointer finger first? When I click the like button, do I isometric hold? I already use my middle fingers enough during the week while driving. Will the extra dislike/like button presses cause overtraining? Please help.
Dude the way you explain stuff in every video is very informative and down to earth. Been learning a lot from you lately. Thank you for putting so much good information out there!
I watch these videos so i know what I am talking about when I am training my clients...training yourself and training others is so different. A lot of the times you learn why you do a workout a certain way and just forget the knowledge behind it but continue to do it. When training people new to the gym, it's like you got become a walking fact book bc you gotta teach em what's already understood to you. Great stuff man
Hey Jeff great video man. One exercise I would include as well which I found to be really effective is doing a rope cable shrug, where you grab the rope from each end while your back is facing the cable and you shrug. Found it to be really effective since your scapula is retracted at the starting position.
Jeff, I love that your “backwards hat, white tee” scenes need no explanation. That gym dude is pretty universal 😂 Thank you for putting out great content. You make us all better!
I'm a thin guy with great traps and I've never done a single shrug. It's just not a body part I ever cared to work directly. But I believe doing snatch grip high pulls, heavy rack pulls, deadlifts and loaded carries has contributed. Power cleans probably haven't hurt much either. This video is about how to shrug 8 million different ways.
From looking at your anatomy breakdown, it looks like something like a snatch grip high pull would be the best way to train the traps (in terms of bang for your buck; an exercise that in theory should give big traps, build explosive-ness and overall develop the posterior chain).
I'm 60 and lifted a lot of weights.. 20 years ago! I forgot a lot of it. I've had some health problems lately and I think it's because I'm just weak and parts other than my muscles have to deal with it. And they shouldn't have to. So glad I found this! Subbed! 💪😉
I personally use dumbbells and by my side, and I feel my traps develop, alongside obviously the "damage" I do during deadlifts. However I see how the learning forward and arms further apart is going to be vastly more optimal, so I'm definitely going to do this next time I do back. I'll probably use the shrug bar first and then maybe finish up on those cable ones.
In this week's episode, Bro Jeff has taught us several things : 1. Add plates by playing wheels on the bus 2. Always make sure to show your underwear peeking out from your pants 3. Thrusting, gyrating, and other displays of vigor never fail to impress fellow gym goers 4. Protect your manhood by imitating the hunchback of notre dame, unfortunately the eventual hunch will sadly provide protection from female attention I think Bro Jeff needs his own show to teach people how to really look good in the gym. I know my eyes are being opened to things I'd never considered.
Maybe a little strange to say, but I look forward to nothing more each week than Technique Tuesday. Thanks for these Jeff, they're always enlightening. 🙏
People stare at me for doing chin ups at 2 per set. Then I watch them do 50 -kip ups- chin ups in a row. I know that proper form beats half arsed reps any day.
The samee they always stare me when I do neck curls but I laugh my ass off then and the people who stare are the same who have big muscles with a Tiny af neck It looks ridicoulous and unmasculin..
I’m thankful that my traps are one of my best muscle groups. Right when I started working out they just blew up haha. But man Jeff I love your videos bro keep doing you!!💯💯
i was struggling with the form as i was feeling more triceps then traps but now i fell alot more traps firing with these tips thank you jeff life saverr
Variations of deadlift and quick lifts are also very good for all three heads of traps. They cause loaded stretch that is more important than concentric phase for hypertrophy in any muscle. Plus these exercises allow very heavy overloading opportunity that is another critical driver of progress.
Jeff, I was wondering if you need any permission/special referencing for your usage is scientific literature since most author rights are given to the journal before publication. Or do you use articles published in open-access journals?
as far as I know it's Fair Use as long as only selected portions of the work is used for commentary purposes and the work is cited either on screen or in the description. There's a lot of grey area with youtube though, so lately I've been more careful to only use study abstracts if the full text isn't already in the public domain. I've never had a complaint or even a demonetization issue from any of my videos from citing scientific papers and I've commented on hundreds if not thousands of papers.
There is no grey area. Ignorance is no defense should anyone take you to task. Risk score it and if you score it high, use some of that monetization to consult an IP lawyer
Great video, exelente tips. By going too heavy, i hurt my neck. Causing headache. Now i am all stiff. Any tip on how to realease that? Thank you everyone.
You pay your gym membership, you use your time, your energy, and your body to lift with. Fuck what anyone else says or thinks. If you use good form, go for it, use whatever is at your disposal to help you lift how you want to lift.
5:22 why is the Smith machine shrug not good as a replacement? Genuinely curious, not trying to be contrary. I ask because I do these on the Smith machine all the time, but am open to change.
I enjoy the way you do ur videos, very informative gr8 work! My current training program uses BB Shrugs, I applied the tips mentioned in this clip, and I'm super happy with this advice!! Thanks heaps mate much appreciated, keep up the gr8 work.
I've found that if I tuck my junk In between my legs and pose like "the silence of the lambs," I can safely lift the weight without it flipping my dingknob or rolling my meatballs. Happy lifting 💪
@@bigal98761 You probably don't care lol, but I like to do Squats + rack pulls as a sort of "deconstructed deadlift". They work well together, and aren't as taxing if you've already done deadlifts earlier in the week.
Barbell shrugs are great, I do them with lighter weight than I use to, and hold them at the top for 2 seconds. What really complements them, and maybe even better than shrugs, are heavy off the rack pulls like powerlifters do for strong upper back. More holistic and systemic, affecting growth everywhere in your body especially your traps.
The short answer to huge traps.. SNATCH HANG HIGH PULLS!! Do them bros, I met a high school kid with traps that looked like the Rock's. Literally all he did was SHHP's for direct trap training. Trust me, you'll feel it.
@@maxdecphoenix yes to most of that my friend! But an upright row would be weighted much more lightly to focus on side delts. The SHHP needs to be loaded much more heavily. It also needs to be lowered below the knee first, then explosively pulled up on the eccentric. Happy lifting!
Best variation I've used, using plates that have handles on a shorter barbell (like an EZ bar). Grab the weight by the plates so your arms are out (like the trapbar) I'd do these seated whilst leaning slightly forward so the weight can be below your legs, Taking out leg drive and your lower back.
I'm determined to bring up my upper traps and neck this year... let's get after it!!
Jeff Nippard Jeff do you do farmers walks
Great video Jeff!
Jeff Nippard can’t wait!😎
Can you target your traps with some types of rows? How about t - bar row? Is that row good for targeting ur traps?
What about the abdomen?
Can you do a video about sleep deprivation effects on muscle growth?
Is that really a top priority?
@Luko Lisica
You need like 6 hours of deep sleep to get you muscles to grow as fast as possible OF COURSE the right Food provided. 1,2 g Protein per pound of Bodyweight
@@sheldoncooper8199 I'm not denying that sleep is important.
I'm just saying that Jeff doing that vid would just be a waste of time.

Great tip on leaning forward 10 degrees! My favorite way to perform barbell shrugs is with a 2-3 second pause at the top in the 12-15 rep range.
