Dip it slowlly down then back up. Keep the reps low and as much weight as you can do for 8-10 reps. Do a warm up set or otherwise make sure you loosen up. A lot of guys in the military that have small necks use this one to get the militarys funky body fat measurements in line and it burns more than you might think.

Anyway, you attach a weight to this thing, bend over and move your head up and down slowly. I can tell you this really burn the neck. Try asking your gym owner if he/she can not get that one. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

To "REALLY" boost your traps, dont mind the "reps", mind the "weight". the heavier you lift, the better traps. BUT do it with the right position to avoid injury. OK?
