I agree. You could have a weak tricep and strong bicep, or a weak brachialis. You need to know what lifts your weak on and why. Isolation exercises such as concentration curls, hammer curls(for...

My biggest problem is it dries out my mouth. It's like cottonmouth without the weed. But should you ever worry about the sodium, rinse it with distilled water. (only recomended for serious cutting)

This what I do also.

Agreed!

I always pyramid on all my compound lifts. But not isolation work as I do it after my compounds, I drop set these.

try stretching more.

I think deads are about the best overall size builder for traps.

considering the traps are a bigger muscle than just at the base of the neck and fan between the scapula, it's more about personal preference. Unless the only workout you do is shrugs.

It could be a weak mind-muscle connection and your just not flexing those muscle as hard as you think. Try the one leg workouts, and work on really focussing on the contraction. Also work on flexing...
