Seth Feroce How-To: Traps 

I find working in customer service helps with my traps. I constantly shrug my shoulders!

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.

That moment you find out you’ve been doing shrugs wrong for years now.

It says something when every comment is positive. Great videos Seth.

This dudes tris are actually insane

Wowwww game changer. Had a hard time feeling traps being worked but this helps a ton. Thanks!

Keep up the good work. Since i ran in to your RU-vid 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.

No other channel shows and explain like this buff dude!

Seth, I love the way you teach! Please keep making videos!

Another great video. He has a direct, no nonsense way of explaining exercises.

These videos give some of the best advice I've ever seen and I've been in the BB game for over 20 years.

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!

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.

Mann im impressed how these small tips that you give can give such a different feel and pump! Thanks!

Dude you always have the greatest training suggestions and your work ethic is awesome. Thanks for always keeping it real

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.

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!

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.

You are a good teacher. I thoroughly enjoy your lessons. Thank you.

You Sir have some of the best shoulders I've ever seen. Thank you for your tips. Blessings from NORCAL!

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🏋🏻‍♂️💪🏼!

Man Seth, thank you for this brotha. I feel the pump more with bending my elbow. Keep doing what you're doing my brotha.

This is a great technique, never heard this one before, defo on my to do list👍

Thank you for the tips and the thorough explanation and visual motion demonstration. By far some of the most helpful advice I've seen :)

I incorporated these techniques & shoulders are growing. Great advice & breakdown!

Best video on RU-vid for traps - thanks Seth!

Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks! 🙏

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 👍🏾

Excellent as usual Seth!!!! 👍

Thank you brother!! I enjoy watching your videos and adding to the arsenal

Awesome tip Seth. That's the movement my shrugs were lacking for that great pump.

thank you! finally a real demonstration!

Last line was excellent and important advice that no one gives. Thanks for the video 👊

Thanks always look forward to your videos every time you post a new one.

Never seen a exercise video explained so well and I'm subscribed to a alot , nice one! 💪

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

Thanks Seth huge help buddy! I wish i watched this sooner

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.

Thanks for breaking down the hows and whys with your technique. Cant wait to try it out.

Slowly by surely, it is making sense. Thank you, Cheers.

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.

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

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

Honestly you give the best tips learned so much from you thank you!

This guy is a master! Really makes the mind muscle connections!!!

Following all of your advise and got great results, please load up vids more frequently!

Thank. I already did this before I saw your workout. Tthis technique works.

I just started seeing all your videos they are amazing and well explain. Keep it up 💪🏼💪🏼

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

elbows bent makes a world of differnce thank you sir and the pump is always 1st on my mind

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!

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.

Thanks for the video. I’m new to weight lifting and all I have is dumbbells so I appreciate this video.

your videos help alot. thanks for filming

Thank you bro 👍👍 I have been doing shoulder shrugs incorrectly this whole time

Excellent video

This guy is truly authentic. To BS with him. Finally a great follow.

The slight adjustment with bending the arms really makes a difference. Another great video.👍

Great video. I'll be trying this tomorrow at the gym.

Thank you Mate , I Was in Need of this .

Always top notch technique

Great insight. Well done. 💯🤘🏻

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and putting out great content, just subscribed and I'm following your tutorials from now on!

Good, simple, easy to follow video. Thanks

Great video, again.

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.

Thank you so much. I will use this tomorrow.

Clear explanation 💪🏽💪🏽 gonna try this

thanks for showing the rep from the front, i get the elbow movement now. and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Seth makes a lot of sense you showed it perfectly

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.
