Neck flexion done with static contraction and resistance bands followed by Nautilus decline press works the Sternocleidomastoid muscles.
1-arm shrugs with resistance bands done with pulse reps followed by rows or pulldowns can target mid-traps
Added a shrug to my deadlifts for the sake of efficiency. Looking forward to increased trap gains.
I feel like thatās making shrugs and deadlifts worse honestly. BUT a solid strategy might be to finish your deadlift workout and then go for a max set of shrugs after that.
I like single set stuff with shrugs. I use bands with an axle and go for REP prs.

My bad lol Iām with you though. Heās one of my idols. One of the first dudes to build a massive well rounded physique. He had it figured out 100 years ago with very limited equipment compared to whatās available now.

Whatās the 5th way on the 5 way neck machine?
What was Hackenschmidtās finishing move?
5th way on the Rogers Pendulum neck machine is a seated shrug. Independent movement arms. So, you can do a regular 2-arm shrug or a 1-arm shrug. It also has an adjustable starting position on the cam for the 4-way neck movements. The shrug arms are leveraged so you donāt need a lot of weight (plates) to do the shrug movement. It is The Best neck machine made today.

Got the idea from watching a Lasha Talakhadze video where he did a pull/shrug after his deadlift.
To be honest, I think youāre right. Have just felt like mixing things up a bit lately.
Absolutely!
