The short answer: steroids. If you want the natural answer, watch this video.

I thought Alex was full of shit at first with the power shrugs and rack pulls but god damn was I wrong. I started doing rack pulls and power shrugs and my back and traps have blown up in the last 2 months. It is unbelievable. Weighted stretching is the key to getting jacked for natural lifters. Good work getting Alex on here Omar.

Them: “How do you build your traps?” Me: **Shrugs** 🤷🏼‍♂️

A study was released that shows rack pulls above the knee have a 98% traps activation. It was the primary muscle being stimulated. So it seems your video fits science. Nice!

This guy has small traps though.

saw this video with Alex on the feed and the title and I'm like "Christ Alex, we know how to get massive traps you say it every other day". Then I saw it was Omar's video and I'm like oh...

Key points: 2:29 do not underestimate the traps 3:10 traps need heavy-ass weight and powerful stretching to grow 4:31 - 8:11 exercises & technique 8:11 - 9:50 programming/sets & reps 9:50 - 12:00 neck training 12:20 injury prevention methods Todoloo motherlovers!

Imagine accidentally making eye contact with this guy during his neck session 10:27

Alex is massively underrated and I'm so stoked you gave him the respect he deserves. You're a good man Omar

I like this bloke; good presence, engaging speech. Joocy traps.

"snatch grip is my favourite" - Donald Trump

It's a TRAP.

this guy is the truth. my neck blew up from 15-18in in a matter of a few months. my traps and shoulders blew up as well. I'm the biggest and strongest I've ever been thanks to his naturally enhanced program

Man, love how fast this guy talks.

Got lost in trap city, had to navigate with google traps

I've been doing these for about 6 months and you absolutely have explosive trap growth visible on almost on a weekly basis, it's amazing. For the first few week you will feel it all the way to the glutes but after a while your back catches up and you mostly feel it in the traps. When you first start don't go up in weight until you hit 10 reps on your top set with a given weight to allow your back time to catch up and prevent that hidden weakness in your chain to be missed.

He kind of went overboard and lost his neck lmao

Rip Kinobody

He says traps 43 times

When I first started doong rack pulls, everyone in the gym were laughing at me. Now, they don't. My traps have definitely grown.

HOW TO BUILD MASSIVE SHOULDERS PLEASE! Thumbs up so he can see it :)

Step 1: allow facial hair to grow...

I ran these ideas for about 2.6-2.7 months and the results are crazy. From looking frail to now having ppl call me trapzilla. Listen to this guy he knows what’s up!

Lmao Alex was trying to sound a lot more professional in this video than the ones on his channel 😂

I can confirm 100%. My rackpull has increased about 300lbs the past 6 months and that's close to all direct trap work and I have some crazy trap stretch marks and they've completely blown up.

rackpull destiny

Omar you're a damn good man for helping this beautiful dude's channel out.

Heavy Farmer's walks and heavy deadlifts are probably the best for building bigger traps in my own experience.

It's nice to see someone like Alex getting more recognition

How long have people been asking for alpha destiny to do a trap video 😂?

6:11 that guy thinking "dafuq he doin?"

Great information, just did above the knee rack pulls for the first time and I will continue.. thank you

oh baby, alex just made it.

ABOUT TIME ALEX . ALEX FOR 2017 OVERTAKE . Bless uP

great video omar! this is why i subscribed to your channel!

omar please do more collabs with this guy....both of you are my heroes

alpha destiny, beard coming in hot for 2017 #connectedbeard2017

damn they seriously collaborated. awesome

Fuck yes! AlphaDestiny and Omar Isuf! The two realest, along with Eric Bugenhagen, on KZfaq! #Raskols #NaturallyEnhanced #BigBlackAsses #TeamNoCalves

Okay... I came here to know how to grow a patchy beard though 🤔

I can already see people judging for using a bit of leg drive while doing shrugs (yes, I can see the future)

Brb gonna spend 2 hours working up to 1000lb rack pull for a couple sets of static holds and bend the commercial gym bar...

At 1st I was reluctant to view this video. Granted I doubted this guy ability to teach me something new..... yet I stand corrected.... This video was by far better than many I've seen. very informative and comprehensive. Big Thanks BroDude

Mind Blown!! Been doing farmer walks for awhile now and have seen results off the bat. Great content!!!

Alex from alpha destiny is the man glad to see you featuring him. Phil from fit world exposed is cool too

You've finally done it Alex

excellent work lads, so surreal to see you two collab but I'm loving it

Power shrugs & rack pulls dont get the attention and credit they so deserve! My traps are growing significantly! I was at a major plateau. GREAT VIDEO

This video is fucking amazing. It's going to change my trap game forever. Thank you so much for this solid content.

And thank you for having Alex on. I hope it will bring more support to his channel. His opinions are worth listening to, as well as Migan's at TeamThreeD Alpha.

Solid content. One of the most informative videos I've seen in a long time. Probably helped I watched at 2.50x speed. You were flying dude.

Just wanted to say thank you for publishing this video. I use to shrug the entire rack of dumbbells. Going from 110's down to like nothing and then back up again 10 reps each. Did barely anything for me. I started doing these rack pulls maybe like 3 weeks ago. I saw results IMMEDIATELY!! Like within 3 times of doing them I noticed observable gains. And you're right, people look at me crazy when they see me loading the bar and then only shrugging about... 3-5" but I don't care what they think. The shit is working and I love it. Thanks man. FYI, I'm doing these rack pulls every other day. I'm currently pulling 405 but I feel like i'm already ready to throw on a couple of 25s to get get up to 455. I should be pulling 500 by end of month. I know that's no where near 1000 but it's not my goal.

So awesome that you put AlphaDestiny on your channel.

i can vouch for this information. the good news is that you can make insaaaaane progress in power shrugs, im talking about going from 3 plates to 7 plates in 2 months. and it isnt that dangerous because your torso is straight and as alex said the traps can handle insane weights.

This video is why I started doing trap and neck training, thank you Alpha Destiny

I fucking love you guys, both of you. Functional training for strength and power, not just trying to get ripped for stupid vanity reasons. I used to be so obsessed with just "getting ripped" and neglected all the things you guys talk about - getting stronger, hitting PR's and a good physique will follow. Priceless, you guys rock and truly stand out from the rest., Respect.

Literally one of the reasons I moved on to Weightlifting was the massive trap gains, 5 months into it, I already see my traps climbing up my neck looking thicker. (Also, immense leg strength gains)

About time my man AlphaDestiny got some recognition! Great vid

Amazing video! Truly high quality comprehensive information. Really loved the collaboration between you guys. You both are two of my most favourite. Appreciate all the great videos you make for us. Excellent work! Thank you. I’m quite grateful to you for all the help. The effort you put into making these videos and training itself is praiseworthy. This is premium quality information that we’ve access to and that’s simply incredible. 🙏💪👍👑

I've been trying to build my traps the conventional way for a while and have seen very minor growth, while the rest of my body has seen obvious muscle gain. I'm definitely gonna have to incorporate this into my routine now

Been watching Alex since 10k subs. This year his channel WILL BLOW UP! He gives so much informative content (as does Omar).

Alpha destiny finna blow up

Saw this video a few months ago and thought I'd give it a try. Farmer walks and lifting a heavy bar whilst stretching the traps...really started to work and I am seeing good results. I kept seeing no results with deadlifts, shrugs and overhead shrugs which I have also tried for years. Thank you for this, stretching the trapezoid downwards is what really targets that muscle and I can feel the doms exactly on that spot the next day.

Best video I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing bro

Alex is a smart dude guys

happy for him... sad everyone will know about him

Thanks Omar and Alex! Best Traps building video on KZfaq!

Hey man, I got the same peoblem, my traps r prob alittle smaller than yours were and I have tried everything.. but these tips you just showed me I can't wait to give it my all and try this out!! Thank you!!!

finally the best youtuber featured

finally alex getting some recognition

Alex the most realest dude i have ever seen. Glad you two did a collab

Good info my dude, and you have the results to back it up too.

Strong traps and neck muscles are underrated and important- especially if you do a hard contact sport like wrestling, mma or football, where you could get dunked on your head

lol, "you might do it with a snatch grip" *picture of behind the back grip* "you might do one behind the back" *picture of Jefferson rack pull*

Man i haven't been this happier looong time ... Omar and Alex my favourite fitness youtubers right now doing collab ,whaaat :):)

Good stuff bro. I will add this to my workout.

I usualy only do deadlifts and farmers walks for my traps. My friends make make fun of me all the time but I got traps and they dont

This guy sounds like Dom Mazzetti

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!for years I've wanted good traps I've tried many things shrugs of course and hardly any growth...I've done this twice this week and dam can I feel it the ext day and I can already see improvement in my traps!anyone who wants big traps do what he says!amazing!finally someone on here that knows there shit lol

wow. I've been doing super heavy rack pulls for a while but never neck training. Thanks!!

To be honest I've done rack pulls or any type of shrugs. But yes my traps were built from hang cleans, deadlifts, and high pulls (wide upright rows).

Yo mad respect Omar, glad you gave Alex some recognition he definitely deserves it.

Perfect video from my boy Alex. I would also recommend Power Cleans. My traps exploded from getting strong in this movement.

Did both of these exercises last night and damn i can feel it today.

i want more nuclei

Damn good stuff, glad to see Alex on here. He's a beaut!

Answer: Snatch Hang high pull, try your best to hold the bar for half a second at eye level. My shit was sore for 5 days

this is the best fitness video on the internet! thank you so much for the help! i do not have great genetics and i shrug for at least 500 reps a week and i see no difference. i am definitely going to try this!

Tried this 6 months ago, crazy trap gainz, do this! Hold the heavy weight for a few seconds

Are the chances of me being in a Gym Fail video high, even though I did what this guy is doing?

Alex. After watching this video MULTIPLE times this week and contemplating the Rack Pull (I had discectomy this past December), I performed the rack pull!!! Granted, the amount of weight was not impressive, BUT my form through each rep was perfect, my pauses were on point, and my traps were smoked! I also performed dumbbell Farmer Walks and both exercises felt AMAZING! THANK YOU so much for your routines and knowledge! I will now implement these two exercises in my routines!

Love this video guys! Legit and thorough.

Awesome interaction with another youtubers omar! Keep the good work.

This kinda goes against Alberto Nunez's video on traps on Omars channel

Good stuff man i believe what your saying about these excercises. Iam sore after doing them tho i feel it would have been even better had you demonstrated or broke it down in slow motion to make sure we are getting consistency and getting the best results

Wow, man! That was absolutely awesome!!!! There is so much sense in your approach!!! Shiiiiiiiiiiiat, let's build some crazy traps! Thank you so much, man.

ever see a blue worker guy with massive traps? he doesnt do shrugs, but he carries heavy shit around. that says a lot why rackpulls work and why it's working for me.

Damn is it Christmas agaiin?!

Great knowledge! Thank you! 💪
