Description

Do you own a trap bar, anticipate buying one, or does the gym where you work out have one? Do you want to learn from an expert how to use a Trap Bar to grow bigger, stronger, faster?In Kelso's book, you will learn the basics of shrug-weight training and how to perform the many shrug variations, Trap Bar Training methods that will allow you to utilize the Trap Bar to its fullest potential. No matter whether you are a Powerlifter, Bodybuilder, Football player, Mixed Martial Artist, or Olympic Weightlifter, the knowledge you gain can help you reach your training goals, How Paul Kelso Stumbled upon the Shrug Exercise In the late 1960s, tall, lanky, big-boned Paul Kelso was finishing up a training session when a miracle occurred. He carelessly bent over to move a loaded bar out of the way, heaving it aside, when he felt a response in his lower traps that year's worth of power cleans and bent-over rows hadn't touched. Curious, he picked up the bar in a bent-over rowing position and shrugged it again with the same response. Kelso dedicated the rest of the training session shrugging with various grips and hand widths, experimenting with which ones worked for different muscle groups. At the end of the day, the now-famous Kelso Shrug System was born It is essential to grasp the principle that a Kelso Shrug is not a magical, single exercise. But rather a natural principle based on the natural adduction and retraction of the scapula and other ranges of movements involving the entire shoulder girdle. Paul Kelso's techniques utilize the natural mobility of the shoulder girdle to build a foundation for heavy lifting and isolate specific muscle groups as an adjunct to regular training. Bonus Section: Trap Bar variations and a Bone Structure courseIn addition to explaining the theory and mechanics of using a trap bar, this book also includes two bonus sections: The first one on Gerard trap bar exercise variations and a bone structure course.
