I’ve started doing a particular movement, purely as an Interest*, to work my traps a bit more. I’d like to share it with you, but keep in mind that this isn’t a required movement for beginners. Below is the explanation, plus a video for you.
* Interests are defined as non-critical exercises that you do simply because you like them or because you want to do something extra for some muscle group.

Oh, and if you are looking for a lifting routine ideal for burning fat this summer, you need to get Fat Burn Furnace. I don’t have my typical “sales page” up where I hype it up and try to convince you to buy – this is just a link to the simple order page: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/more/fatburnfurnace.html.
