Clean hang/paused explosive shrugs (whatever you call these, the things Manny does in his vid): 2x2x50
OK, cool thing on these--holy shit, I was exploding from the hang. It was great! My traps were actually doing the work.
Which ones are you talking about? I dont do high pulls...

thanks for clarifying, Manny... and which drills do you think activate the traps most, other than what I've been doing?
Pulls/snatches/cleans from the high hang
Dead hang cleans or snatches

These are awesome for developing that trap activation. When you use your traps during a heavy pull, it feels like youre yanking the bar with your arms straight. You can also do those lifts in a rack if your back gets tired, just set the pins at the right height and rip it.
