Eccentric Trap-3 Raise Form

Thank you for watching!

I’m doing 5 kg on a 45 deg bench with around 6 reps with concentric as well. 7 kg for 10 reps is the goal. 68 kg bw

Hi Ben, one of the ATG coaches hast shown a seated version of this exercise, where you sit on a Chair, move your upper body forward in a 44 degree angle with a straight back and then perform the movement. What do you think of this alternative? I am doing them this way because i dont have an incline bench/Back extension machine.

Is there another form we can do if we don’t have such equipment

[SCchris]

Very nice short vid! To the point and super helpful!! 🙏🏻😎💯

I love your content, but I never understood: what's the benefit of this exercise? (In other words, what's the usefulness of strengthening the trap tree?)

[youngsuit]

this exercise i either pick a weight that feels like nothing or my form is crap. there is no in between sadly

[Cloppa]

What is this exercise for?
And are there other exercises it compares to or it's recommended to replace??

[patrickb]

Do you recommend bending the elbows and lifting above the head instead of keeping the arms straight and bringing the weight above the head?

[jonathanhumphrey]

I feel this a ton in my lower back. what am I doing wrong?

[mohamedorayith]

We need an ATG elbow/triceps video ❤❤❤

First time in my life seeing this exercise. Which is the purpose for traps???

[divinechelladurai]

0:07 should i focus on the lower traps while during this exercise? does it increase/develop muscle in the lower traps?

[Treasurerose]

Thanks Ben knees feeling better and better everyday 💥

Can you do a video on how to prevent/treat osteitis pubis with exercise, as it‘s a common injury athletes have to deal with?

[vampdeluxe]

My Trap-3 area has a very visible muscle disproportion. Doing squats, DLs or back extensions, I noticed more pressure on the right side of my back, especially Trap-3 area. I’ve just started doing your exercises, but perhaps there is something that I should focus on more? For context, my left side is more tight and sensitive than right side, poor hip mobility and flexibility and, of course, I’ve got lordosis.

Thanks for your videos, even though, I only recently started, the difference on the way I feel is noticeable rather quickly - much love!

Is there a reason to do eccentric only rather than raising up from the bottom then back down? Aside from being able to use more weight.

[oohwha]

I can hear my shoulders popping as I watch this 🤣🤣

Not necessarily a bad thing, not necessarily damage, just not helping motivate me to do this one...

[shinobi]

thanks for the info, why do i get back pain sometime even on the bench??

[dassilbelloul]

Do you have to contract your shoulder blades ?, I find it very difficult

[gvngbvngiggy]

Why not take a lower weight and just do y raises?

I do about 15 reps with 5 kilos pretty controlled and at a lower angle. I reckon i could do about 10 for 5 on these. But why? Is there a reason this works better?
