“The Klokov press is a special behind the neck variation where you are using a wide-grip (snatch-grip) instead. 


The wide-grip will decrease the engagement of triceps and increase the muscle activity of middle deltoids and trapezius muscles.


Klokov press is almost completely lateral deltoids and traps, which makes it a superb compound exercise to make your middle delts and traps grow in strength and size very nicely”. - Vahva Fitness

The Kettlebell Jump Shrug is an explosive shrug with a small jump and shrug at the top of each rep. Lower the weight to just above the kneecaps and explode upward as fast as possible. 


The effectiveness of the Plate Raise is increased by bringing the plate above eye level and all the way over your head. 


“Bringing it all the way overhead will bring the traps and upper back into action. These really hit the top of the traps and the rhomboids”. - T Nation

“Chest to wall more properly mimics the way your body will move in a freestanding handstand pushup. When doing it back-to-wall, you're encouraging high back arch and also allowing for wide elbows - something you cannot do in a freestanding HSPU if you want to maintain balance”. - Unknown

“”Delt Sweeps” work well for high reps in metabolic stress fashion: The execution is really important. On the lifting side, it's really a pull back – as if you were doing a face pull and lateral raise hybrid. With the supporting arm you're going to be pushing slightly as you lift with the other arm. (It's not a one-arm upright row motion.


If you get this right you'll feel it big time in the lateral delt and even some posterior delt and traps. Start light and play around with it until you can feel the contraction”. - T Nation

The Bird Pull Up


“The Bird pull up is an L-sit behind the neck pull up and one of the hardest pull up variations for both strength and mobility.

The demands for the shoulder girdle strength and mobility are high: the legs create counter balance which almost forces your body to stay upright. This places your muscles in a difficult position to pull. 

Then, when you pull it behind the neck, it not only requires a high level of flexibility, but your arms will fly completely to the sides, which forces you to pull with shoulder adduction alone. 

This will heavily train the teres major muscle in addition to lats and other back muscularity”. - Vahva Fitness
