He carelessly bent over to move a loaded bar out of the way, heaving it aside, when he felt a response in his lower traps that year's worth of power cleans and bent-over rows hadn't touched. Curious, he picked up the bar in a bent-over rowing position and shrugged it again with the same response. Kelso dedicated the rest of the training session shrugging with various grips and hand widths, experimenting with which ones worked for different muscle groups. At the end of the day, the now-famous Kelso Shrug System was born\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is essential to grasp the principle that a Kelso Shrug is not a magical, single exercise. But rather a natural principle based on the natural adduction and retraction of the scapula and other ranges of movements involving the entire shoulder girdle. Paul Kelso's techniques utilize the natural mobility of the shoulder girdle to build a foundation for heavy lifting and isolate specific muscle groups as an adjunct to regular training.\u003c\/p\u003eBonus Section: Trap Bar variations and a Bone Structure course\u003cp\u003eIn addition to explaining the theory and mechanics of using a trap bar, this book also includes two bonus sections: The first one on Gerard trap bar exercise variations and a bone structure course.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat experts say about the Kelso Shrug Book\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"You've taken the shrug farther than anyone in the game.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeary Rader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Should be part of every trainee's program.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoctor Ken Leistner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"The Mark Twain of iron-game storytelling returns to his how-to roots with very positive results.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMike Lambert\u003cbr\u003eEditor\/Publisher - Powerlifting USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"There is something in it for everyone who trains.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Kelso - Fitness Author\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"The trap bar deadlift is the king of exercises!\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Inch - Gym Rat\u003c\/p\u003eAbout the Author\u003cp\u003ePaul Kelso was active in the world of weights for fifty years, having published more than 100 articles and three books on the iron game.
