Forget Shrugs: 4 Exercises for BANE-Level Traps

🦾 Forget everything you know about shrugs — Bane's monstrous traps weren't built with a barbell going straight up and down.

What's the one angle adjustment that changes which muscles actually grow? And why could your ego be sabotaging your gains by rep eight?
