More on Brawn:
Strengths vs. Weaknesses
Mr. McRobert appears to be a believer in exploiting one's own strengths to a point. In this case, he recommends, perhaps every so often(after one has built a very solid muscular base... NOT when a person is a beginner) doing a cycle that will place emphasis on a particular exercise or bodypart. For example, if deadlifts are your exercise and you were chomping at the bit to really make the most of this exercise for a while, you could keep all your lifts at maintenance from your previous training cycle and only progressively increase the weight on this exercise.
The 45 Degree shrug:
This one was new to me. I've just started doing it as part of my 'Brawn' routine. It's very simple, but, due to the mechanics of the lift, I actually feel them all the way down my traps instead of just towards the top liike with standing shrugs, for example. Adjust a bench to 45 degrees, and shrug your weight(whether it be a barbell or dumbells). The trrick is finding the correct positioning. For me, it took placing my feel at the base of the bench so that most of my weight was on my chest and the bar was pulling me into the movement. Anyway... try it.
