< strong>Trapezius training: Continuous tension and alternating shrugging!
When we talk about trapezius training, most people will think of shoulder shrug training. Shrugs are great. Yes, it can help build strong trapezius muscles!
The more developed and powerful trapezius muscles will make your shoulders thicker and your back more three-dimensional!
There are many variations of shrug training, different equipment (barbells, dumbbells, ring bars) and different angles (arms bearing weight vertically, arms raised high Overhead weight bearing, etc.) all have different experiences!
Today we are going to introduce you to a great variation of shrugging: alternating shrugging with continued tension!
1 .Shrug alternately, perform shrug training with left and right shoulders back and forth!
2. Continuous tension: in actionAlways maintain muscle tension
The following is the action process and action demonstration!
First select two dumbbells of sufficient weight, and hold the dumbbells in front of your chest with both hands!
Start the action: lift one shoulder blade upward and keep it there all the time, while starting to shrug 10-15 times on the other shoulder train!
After completing the target number of reps, then alternate! Do 3-5 sets in total!
Benefits of doing this:
The non-targeted unilateral trapezius muscle is still in a state of contraction (isometric contraction) while waiting for shrug training.
Doing this can increase the time the muscles are under tension (TUT) and give your muscles better stimulation!
