2016 EditionThe Kelso Shrug SystemA Practical Guide
for Body Builders and Strength AthletesBack in the late 1960's, tall, lanky, big-boned Paul Kelso was just finishing up a training session when a miracle occurred. 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 different muscle groups. At the end of the day, the now famous, the Kelso Shrug System was born.
Kelso's book teaches good principles and offers rock solid pointers to improve strength performanceIt is important 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 as well as 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 to isolate specific muscle groups as an adjunct to regular training.
