When Arnold hit a most muscular, his traps popped like two loaves of French bread.
One of his secrets was restraining a couple of vicious hounds from chewing up Joe Weider when he went to the office to demand his paychecks from the Master Blaster. It was vicious-dog shrugs with extra stretch…
Seriously, we’ve talked about Arnold’s multi-angular workouts before. While dogs weren’t really involved, Arnold was a big fan of size-surging stretch exercises, like overhead extensions for huge, sweeping triceps and of course, shrugs for his titanic traps.
In fact, Arnold did stretch-position resistance exercises for almost every bodypart, even the unique incline one-arm laterals, an ideal medial-delt-head exercise identified by Mr. America and biomechanics expert Doug Brignole…
By the way, the shrug with resistance provides excellent trap stretch, wild dogs not necessary. And the exercise is on Brignole’s ideal-exercise list….
