I introduce TrapZilla, cousin of QuadZilla. Read below for some trap-meat development.

This Monday’s workout - I pulled out my old go-to shrug program circa 2000 (after my deadlifts).

The Super Fantastic TrapZilla Shrug Set of Doom

1. Start with a 45lb plate on each side of the barbell. Complete 10 reps. Rest 45 seconds.
2. Add another 45lb plate to each side. Complete another 8 reps. Rest 45 seconds.
3. Add another 45lb plate to each side. Complete another 5 reps. Rest 45 seconds.
4. Keep repeating the process. Until you can only complete 1 rep.
5. Once you peak to your maximum weight and can only complete 1 rep. Start the drop set process. No resting.
6. Take off a 45lb plate off each side. Complete as many reps to failure.
7. Repeat the drop set process. No resting. Stripping a 45 plate – completing as many reps as possible and repeat.

Note: If 45lb plates are too heavy – use 25lb plates. You should be aiming for at least 4 sets to your peak and another 4 set drop set.
