robin don't sacrifice your form just to lift extra weight I once hurt my traps/neck doing dumbell shrugs. My old gym only went up to 50kg dumbells each so I went for 50 reps with them and on the last few I was cheating a bit, turned my head slightly and hurt my neck and had to were a neck brace for a couple of days.

just add weight when you can.

I am always sore in my traps for a couple of days after. I might try some static timed dumbell holds with no straps as my gym is not very big and always a mess and I would not want to trip up.

Max weight and hold it in both hands.
Grab some heavy db's and see how long you can hold it. This is what makes the men from the boys. This is truely strenght training.

then walk with them for 50 mertres that sorts the men from the boys for sure!

Panthro · 03-03-2004, 11:36 AM

lol, it sure does! i cant do 50 metres with the 80's yet, but in the next week or so, it'll be no problem, then will move up to the 90's....

i know it may be a stupid question to some of u, but what is a farmers walk?

**hackskii** · 07-03-2004, 02:55 AM

Grab heavy dumbbells and walk around the gym till you cant hold the weight anymore.

wouldnt u look a bit stupid walkin around in circles in the gym holding some dumdbells!

**hackskii** · 07-03-2004, 10:06 PM

Yah, but for grip strength and an overall workout they work really well. This is a common lift for the WSM. Contest and workouts, they do this.

robin_3_16 · 07-03-2004, 10:25 PM

yep indeed and it brings size, a few guys live religously and train each body [ary through static holding
so they must work
