Hey, I implemented your techniques for lateral raises and rear delts and it has made a world of difference. Combined with frequency, my delts are developing better than any other point in my lifting life.
Oh man... I've been going a little too light to make sure I have this perfect form, but my arms do always want to step in, so I really have to over focus on that form... I bet a little more weight to let my arms hang better will be the perfect balance... You're awesome. Thanks. At least I've nailed down the form, now the extra weight will take me that extra step... Pros really do have the best little secrets that make a world of difference.
I’ve been doing them straight legged/armed because a lot of videos I’ve watched about shrugs recommended it. No wonder I wasn’t getting any pump or real growth! Gonna try this method in my workout today. Thanks!
I just watched this video last night because I had traps tonight. I used to have a tough time feeling my traps... not anymore! And I had a crazy nasty pump on in my traps today. Big thanks Seth, you the man!
Keep up the good work. Since i ran in to your TH-cam channel my day in the gym is never thesame again and my gains is out of this world. Thank you so much for your invaluable knowledge you share with the world.
This just may change everything for me, never felt proper trap activation with shrugs, now I can see why. So amped I am going to do these right now as if I never lifted in my life.
Thanks bro!! I ran across this vid by faith I guess. I tried the movement you stated and even without weight I feel them firing. I’m used to doing them the way you illustrated most people do and even though I use up to 110’s I don’t get the pump I should. I will definitely be doing it this way. Thanks 👍🏾
No bullshit Seth’s videos absolutely not just helped me get out of fitness rut, but actually helped me more to get through some serious shit storms recently. I fucking mean that. THANK YOU! I’m doing my part to pay it forward.
Great vid. I never really got a good burn in my traps until I stared using your technique.....now my traps are always sore as shit the day after. Have to admit it feels pretty awesome. Your vids are definitely motivating
Great video bending elbows definitely increases pump. A lot of people like myself assume you shrug straight up but once I realized I needed to shrug up & back my traps started growing
Seth, I love your way of explaining tips, moreover I like your typical New York accent. I just love it. Whenever I listen to you, I feel I am in New York. Thanks bro you the best. Prem India.
I tried this technique today for the first time. Kind of needs getting used to coming from the perspective of hanging the arms perfectly straight and just shrugging straight up. I will know tomorrow how well this technique works after I wake. It kind of tells me how well it worked by the soreness and tightness the next morning. I know that sound crazy....
Harley Rider no bro that doesn't sound crazy. That is the best way to make a judgement call from my standpoint. Everything I do is based on personal feel. If it doesn't feel right or not working, and I have to be real with myself not just do because it is hard or don't like it, then I move on to something different. Don't lose that quality. I honestly believe that today so many people follow the norm because it's the norm. Not because they like it or because it works. That is one of the main reasons I started making these videos. Thank you for the comment and hope these vids help man! 💪
Just Another Over Taxed Tax Payer that's exactly how you know! When ever I try something new and don't feel the pimp or sore the next day I feel like I failed.#Trusttheprocess
Great tip. I’m a beginner and I’m glad I stumbled onto this instead of going a long time with the classic straight shrug. Before I couldn’t really engage the traps and it felt like I was building nothing.
Bro that is too awesome. Already feeling that pump. Man d way u xplain things is juz xceptional good work bro.. Ur doing a grt deed man.helping all the begginers in a such a way is life saving. Thx for all dese videos.
Hohmies Mcfly stick with rack pulls, farmers walks and start deadlifts if you're not already. If your not deadlifting learn how, start easy and do it right. Shrugs alone don't cut it for big traps. Train your neck with the neck flex or a standard head harness.
GForceIntel I have and it lead me to a lot of other channels that revolve around powerlifting and strong man. Alpha destiny learned that the power lifting movements and strong man movements make you strong and make you look strong. I take bits and pieces away from all these TH-cam channels and apply to myself. You could get jacked from bench press, dead lift, overhead press, and squat alone. Take those 4 and it's variations and design your own routine based off it. Using assistance exercises that carryover to the 4 main lifts and focusing on getting strong at those will make a guy look like a brick shit house. When's the last time someone saw a power lifter or strongman competitor and said "gee, that guy looks like a pussy".
yan kashyap well I just spent 8 months in federal prison and we had a weight pile there and I was able to do rack pulls and farmers walks, I worked up to doing it every other day and after a month and a half they grew and grew, other inmates thought I was stupid but soon saw I was not. Always upping the weight and murdering the traps every session. But no matter what if you don't take in lots of protein you will not grow. I became very in tune with my body and how different foods help. Sweet potatoes are gold for energy
Seth, one thing that body builders dont do is tell people that they MUST do blood work evry three months when injecting anything. I LITERALLY saved a life bcuz i take test and i know the effects. I started talkung to newbie doing test and Dianobol, i asked him what doctor is monitoring this. He said no one why" i asked how long have you bern injecting, he said 8 months. I told him what happened to me High Hemo and im glad he took my advice. His hemo was at 20. nutz! Anyways he donated a lot of blood and it worked for him and now a doc monitors it. Can you warn your viewers? Especially 1st timers.
Thank you so much for this video. I have found a huge difference in doing what you demonstrated. Watching your other videos and really enjoying the content, man. Thanks again🏋🏻♂️💪🏼!
Finally, I started doing my shrugs like this awhile ago once I learned more of how the traps are shaped but most videos just show the generic way to shrug db or bb. Thanks!
I can't wait to try this. This guy has already helped me finally get my quads AND my delts to start growing the way I want them to. *Seth Feroce is the fucking TRUTH.*
I experimented with the dumbbell shrugs a few years ago and wound up doing them like how Seth said and it worked for me. People would ask me why I did them like that but it just felt good. I just saw this and I've been doing them correctly after all. I call them TSA's since it feels like carrying luggage, lol.
Incredible channel Seth ! Been watching your videos and Lui interview all night . Incredible information . love the openness, passion and honesty you have man . I have a very large passion for the sport myself and will be incorporating all this in my routine and using it all to my advantage .. Kill it man and good luck with all upcoming!
This is a fantastic exercise. I've used this for a few years with a slight variation. It is the exact movement except the shoulders are moving in a "J" formation. At the top of the movement your chest should be out, delts squeezed back and up with the bent elbows. Just throwing it out there.
Nice bro i like your body so much all thr best. i just started body building one month before just following your instruction and it really works thanks
Dude, I think these work outs are even helping you get a fuller, rounder beard lol. I need a video on how to get that. Seriously though, I am gonna start using your ideas and work outs. Just subscribed!!
I been upping the weight. Also a three second pause at the top. It's working for me. Love the bent elbow, I've been trying to focus on that. As with most things lifting related I've got a lot to learn.
Searched how to grow traps, scrolled past all the popular fitness channels pushing their traps up with shoulder blades, clicked on the video with the dude with truly big traps, was not disappointed with the result.
I went from 167lbs last 2018 with batteries in pocket to now 205lbs here 2019... I owe a lot of this change to muthfuckin SETH DA Beast ( that’s what I call him ) Thank you brother.... much love
Enjoyed ur video. Makes sense. I too have had to alternate, or make my own way differ from videos and talk with others. I believe the elbow slight bend is the ticket! Isolates big time! I would also say(in my humble opinion and experience only) that heavy weights is not always the way. Get way more out of good solid high reps than sloppy heavy low reps. Most time when heavy the shoulders want to take over the work load. Excellent video and honesty. U da man!
I find working in customer service helps with my traps. I constantly shrug my shoulders!
Jack Haughey 😂😂😂
Best reply ever lol
Haha
🤷🏻♂️
😂😂😂
The elbow thing is huge. I've always felt like I couldn't fully engage traps and that made a big difference. Thanks brother!
Hey, I implemented your techniques for lateral raises and rear delts and it has made a world of difference. Combined with frequency, my delts are developing better than any other point in my lifting life.
Elliot Maverick fuckin A bro! That is awesome! Glad it helped!
Elliot Ja-;o
It says something when every comment is positive. Great videos Seth.
That moment you find out you’ve been doing shrugs wrong for years now.
Oh man... I've been going a little too light to make sure I have this perfect form, but my arms do always want to step in, so I really have to over focus on that form... I bet a little more weight to let my arms hang better will be the perfect balance... You're awesome. Thanks. At least I've nailed down the form, now the extra weight will take me that extra step...

Keep up the good work. Since i ran in to your TH-cam channel my day in the gym is never thesame again and my gains is out of this world. Thank you so much for your invaluable knowledge you share with the world.
Another great video. He has a direct, no nonsense way of explaining exercises.
This just may change everything for me, never felt proper trap activation with shrugs, now I can see why. So amped I am going to do these right now as if I never lifted in my life.
Wowwww game changer. Had a hard time feeling traps being worked but this helps a ton. Thanks!
Scruffy77 hell yes!
Thank you Seth! I have always hated traps because i barely ever felt them
Scruffy77 6
Gotta try this. I have them, just need to take to the next level. I was doing exactly what Seth was saying in the beginning. Must try lol
These videos give some of the best advice I've ever seen and I've been in the BB game for over 20 years.
Very good young man when you said the pump. I had forgotten that part. Thank you I'm 59. and in fair shape I will take your advice and give it a try
No other channel shows and explain like this buff dude!
Nabil Arifi james grage is really good aswell probably even better
check out athlean x
Get off his nuts vato.
Dude did a good trap workout video though, so I give him props for that. Nuff said, P.E.A.C.E.
Nabil Arifi buff dude? You must be Muslim?
Acc subscribed him for that same reason he's explicit !!
Seth, I love the way you teach! Please keep making videos!
It's a simple movement, dumbbell shrugs. But there are so many keypoints for a DS in this video. Thanks Seth!
Thanks bro!! I ran across this vid by faith I guess. I tried the movement you stated and even without weight I feel them firing. I’m used to doing them the way you illustrated most people do and even though I use up to 110’s I don’t get the pump I should. I will definitely be doing it this way. Thanks 👍🏾
This guy is truly authentic. To BS with him. Finally a great follow.
Thank you seth as a guy who never lifted weights before. You teaching of doing it right works for me. At the age 0f 52. I feel good thanks
No bullshit Seth’s videos absolutely not just helped me get out of fitness rut, but actually helped me more to get through some serious shit storms recently. I fucking mean that. THANK YOU! I’m doing my part to pay it forward.
Great vid. I never really got a good burn in my traps until I stared using your technique.....now my traps are always sore as shit the day after. Have to admit it feels pretty awesome. Your vids are definitely motivating
Last line was excellent and important advice that no one gives. Thanks for the video 👊
Great video bending elbows definitely increases pump. A lot of people like myself assume you shrug straight up but once I realized I needed to shrug up & back my traps started growing
Thank you brother. You are one of the few guys that I can take something away from what you explain and actually apply it successfully.
I like the way you go in to great detail about what you are doing and why you're doing it. Very good explanation and easy to follow.
Mann im impressed how these small tips that you give can give such a different feel and pump! Thanks!
Thank you. Very nice instructions and details! It's nice to take advice from someone who obviously knows what they're talking about
Seth, I love your way of explaining tips, moreover I like your typical New York accent. I just love it. Whenever I listen to you, I feel I am in New York.
Thanks bro you the best.

I find straight arms are better than slightly bent, just so i feel the weight in my traps rather than my forearms
I think that each way hits the traps differently...maybe do a set where you bend the arms and a set where you keep them straight...
Thanks Seth huge help buddy! I wish i watched this sooner
The slight adjustment with bending the arms really makes a difference. Another great video.👍
I tried this myself and I’ve never felt a pump like this. Thanks brother!
Great tip. I’m a beginner and I’m glad I stumbled onto this instead of going a long time with the classic straight shrug. Before I couldn’t really engage the traps and it felt like I was building nothing.
Bro that is too awesome. Already feeling that pump. Man d way u xplain things is juz xceptional good work bro.. Ur doing a grt deed man.helping all the begginers in a such a way is life saving. Thx for all dese videos.
Makes absolutely perfect sense. I tried it, the pump is unreal. This guy knows.
You Sir have some of the best shoulders I've ever seen. Thank you for your tips. Blessings from NORCAL!
SETH, I have been doin rack pulls and farmers walks and traps have grown faster than ever! I will be adding this to my repertoire fosho

When's the last time someone saw a power lifter or strongman competitor and said "gee, that guy looks like a pussy".
what do you guys think the weight in the rack pull should be to have decent traps?
yan kashyap well I just spent 8 months in federal prison and we had a weight pile there and I was able to do rack pulls and farmers walks, I worked up to doing it every other day and after a month and a half they grew and grew, other inmates thought I was stupid but soon saw I was not. Always upping the weight and murdering the traps every session. But no matter what if you don't take in lots of protein you will not grow. I became very in tune with my body and how different foods help. Sweet potatoes are gold for energy
This guy is a master! Really makes the mind muscle connections!!!
If anybody hasn't told you... you are a great teacher! Thanks!
You are a good teacher. I thoroughly enjoy your lessons. Thank you.

Dude you always have the greatest training suggestions and your work ethic is awesome. Thanks for always keeping it real
elbows bent makes a world of differnce thank you sir and the pump is always 1st on my mind
Awesome tip Seth. That's the movement my shrugs were lacking for that great pump.
Thank you so much for this video. I have found a huge difference in doing what you demonstrated. Watching your other videos and really enjoying the content, man. Thanks again🏋🏻♂️💪🏼!
Personally, I find dumbbell shrugs way more effective than barbell. I like my arms by my side rather than in front of me.
Man Seth, thank you for this brotha. I feel the pump more with bending my elbow. Keep doing what you're doing my brotha.
Excellent as usual Seth!!!! 👍
NO TRY, JUST DO! The way this guy can explain the work out. Big Thanks!.
Finally, I started doing my shrugs like this awhile ago once I learned more of how the traps are shaped but most videos just show the generic way to shrug db or bb.
Thanks!
Following all of your advise and got great results, please load up vids more frequently!
I can't wait to try this. This guy has already helped me finally get my quads AND my delts to start growing the way I want them to. *Seth Feroce is the fucking TRUTH.*
"just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water"....
This dude never ceases to amaze..
I experimented with the dumbbell shrugs a few years ago and wound up doing them like how Seth said and it worked for me. People would ask me why I did them like that but it just felt good. I just saw this and I've been doing them correctly after all. I call them TSA's since it feels like carrying luggage, lol.
Thank you for the tips and the thorough explanation and visual motion demonstration. By far some of the most helpful advice I've seen :)
This is a great technique, never heard this one before, defo on my to do list👍
Some of the best shoulders I've seen in a long while.....keep it real Seth
what a huge difference this video made!
Would love to see some lower body instructionals.
Seth, respect to you. You employ proper form, to which I corrected my error in correcting my own form. Thanks, Big Dog...🐶🐶🐶😉😉😉
Never seen a exercise video explained so well and I'm subscribed to a alot , nice one! 💪
I incorporated these techniques & shoulders are growing. Great advice & breakdown!
Seth is the man, no one explains exercises such clearly as him. top physique btw, I like the beard too
I like the Dumbbells also for traps. The barbell is always a back issue.
Same here. There’s a problem when you have a little fear doing an exercise. I feel I’m taking a chance. Which takes the fun out of it obviously.
Incredible channel Seth ! Been watching your videos and Lui interview all night . Incredible information . love the openness, passion and honesty you have man .

Thanks for breaking down the hows and whys with your technique.
Cant wait to try it out.
Thanks for the video. I’m new to weight lifting and all I have is dumbbells so I appreciate this video.
This proves that Bro Science works as long as you have the mental capacity to analyze other people and logically break down their movements.
👍
I been upping the weight. Also a three second pause at the top. It's working for me. Love the bent elbow, I've been trying to focus on that. As with most things lifting related I've got a lot to learn.
You just confirmed what I been doing in my work outs
I like getting tips from swole dude like this. Why? They put in the time for us. Thanks buff dude
Exactly. I dont wanna take advice from someone who doesn't have the look im lookin for.
He injected the needle for us
my goodness... your vlogs are so good... bless you...
I did shrugs today. straight arms, just straight up and down. my hands hurt before I even felt the traps. will try this tomorrow. nice one!
the best demo so far for traps
Thank you brother!! I enjoy watching your videos and adding to the arsenal
Searched how to grow traps, scrolled past all the popular fitness channels pushing their traps up with shoulder blades, clicked on the video with the dude with truly big traps, was not disappointed with the result.

bought the orange and black hat... excited to get it. great brand
This dude gives really good advice and tips.thanks bro.

I owe a lot of this change to muthfuckin SETH DA Beast ( that’s what I call him )
Thank you brother.... much love
Thank you bro 👍👍 I have been doing shoulder shrugs incorrectly this whole time
Enjoyed ur video. Makes sense. I too have had to alternate, or make my own way differ from videos and talk with others. I believe the elbow slight bend is the ticket! Isolates big time!

Honestly you give the best tips learned so much from you thank you!
Damn I wish I would have found you earlier. You're an amazing coach with a wonderful personality. Keep up the good work brother. Fuck yea!
Thanks always look forward to your videos every time you post a new one.
thanks!!!! this made a big difference for me. do you have any videos for the beginners that can work out during their 1 hr lunch break ??
Seth Feroce, Athlean X, James Grage, Nippard, Damien Patrick & Vintage Genetics are probably the best fitness youtube channel game.
Thank. I already did this before I saw your workout. Tthis technique works.
I’m a big fan of yours! I admire your workout and would love follow you!
Great video. I'll be trying this tomorrow at the gym.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
thank you! finally a real demonstration!
Your videos are very helpful. Keep posting please!
Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks! 🙏
Love these vids. Dude knows his shit. Cut , Dry , SIMPLE!
