Jan 17, 2012 5:27 PM: This is my favorite for shoulders i bring the bar up just a little higher than my chin. And if I do it right after curls I can get a nice burn in my biceps and forearm too.

And with an ez-bar you can change the position of your hands to! Only thing I wouldn´t do, lifting it above shoulder height..... Shoulders mostly don´t...+See More

Nov 16, 2011 11:10 AM: its a good workout to have when you want to position your hands in a different way instead being use to the EZ bar. Other than that, keep it lite and don't try to go high. Just keep it slightly above your nipple height.

Jun 14, 2011 10:17 AM: If you're having trouble with this exercise, try doing it from belly button to nipples, keeping your elbows even with your shoulders and not higher than them. Not everyone can do "proper" form without trashing their shoulders and wrists.

May 26, 2011 11:04 PM: Awesome exercise. Great for adding mass and alot of definition in your traps and shoulders. If you don't feel it in your shoulders or traps, then you're not doing it right.

Mar 31, 2010 10:54 AM: Great exercise. one I love but just be careful of how much weight you going to pull
Don't strain , stop rest , relax and then do it again. Straining in reps will cause injury

Mar 3, 2010 12:59 AM: Contrary to the comment below i love doing this exercise on my heavy cycles (about 125lb now) . Keeping form and lowering reps you can feel it destroy your shoulders... in a good way.

Jan 11, 2010 2:07 PM: Pretty good exercise for traps and shoulders. Just tried it today,
and after doing 3-4 sets of 10, I could already feel both muscle
groups getting pumped.
