anyone do these? just a week and a half ago I remembered reading about them, and tried them for the first time..... they seemed pretty effective and not just the peak area of the trap, but a little bit of anterior deltoid as well? it was just an all encompassing upper shoulder feeling of stress/pump/work/howeveryouwanttocallit
this was not used as a primary exercise for the traps, I still did my normal shrug routine.... but does it seem like a logical thing to add? or was the feeling of effectiveness just a fluke because it was such a random and different range of motion?

I mean Hise Breathing Shrugs. They're the same movement, you can do them on a calf raise machine, but they're not just "shrugs on the calf raise machine".

I am just recovering from a RC injury and I really like overhead shrugs; my shoulder feels great after them. The hit the traps quite differently than regular shrugs imo. They are a staple in my trap routine at the moment.
Also, these Hise Breathing Shrugs sound pretty cool. I read the article, but I still don't quite understand how to perform, could someone elaborate?
