I already do Bent Over Rows and Pull ups, but both of these target the lats. I am looking to put some meat on the area of my upper back between my shoulder blades and below my neck, the area dominated by the trapezius. From what I've read, trapezius work benefits the bench as well as strengthens the entire shoulder girdle, but I've been shrugging forever and am still a little girl up there. I wanted to give oly lifting a shot and see what it can do for me. I don't want to learn the clean and jerk or start getting "into" oly lifting. I just want to include some of the easier movements into my powerlifting routine to help add some strength to my upper back.
High pulls might also be what I am looking for. It just seems to be the general consensus that power snatches are good for, well, power.
I wonder if I could get Alon's opinion on attempting to teach yourself the power snatch. He seems to be a fan and practitioner of oly lifting. Alon, help?
