A couple weight lifting questions
    #11988324 - 02/08/10 02:25 PM (14 years, 1 month ago)

1. What are some good exercises to work your traps? I already know about and use shrugs, so something different.

2. What are some good exercises to work your lower chest? The only one I can think of is the reclined bench press, but I don't like doing that because my shorts fall up and expose my hairy white thighs to the entire gym  haha :lol:
Any links to videos/pictures of proper form would be appreciated.

:hummer:

So what type of excersises do you do with a kettlebell? Any links?

Sorry for the noob question lol.

I really need to tone up again quick after the festive period and the weather has been so bad I haven't been running for a few months. Considering purchasing.

There's an exercise where you hold a regular benchpress bar around waist level while standing upright, then pull it up to your chest. Its supposed to work your shoulders and traps. Anyone know what that's called? Im not sure if I'm using the correct form.

Check out the Kettlebell thread in P&MWB.  The snatch is the most effective KB exercise -- it burns calories at the same rate as running a 6min mile.

Here's a video of the SNatch--  it's sideways, and the music sucks, but all the other videos were long and had detailed explanations of the involved form.

I just want to show you what it looks like (turn your head sideways)
