Mutant muscles

Interesting observation...

I've been on-again/off-again over the past few weeks with SG due to time constraints, and I can feel the gains I had made fading fast. But a couple of weeks back I jumped back into it after not doing it for over a week and decided to go "all out", 52 reps of as many moves as I could do. A typical set looks like this:

* Shoveling
* Fireman
* Churn Butter (with squats)
* Chop Wood
* Drive Fence Posts
* Tuck Bales (with squats)
* Flip Lever
* Perseus Hoist (saw it written in another post, great move!)

I'm not sure which move or moves did it, but before I went to bed I noticed I had mutant trapezius muscles! I'm by no stretch athletic looking, but I suddenly had this massive "peak" in my traps that was never there before, bulging up quite high and seemingly out of proportion to my shoulders and chest.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this? I know the hammer works these muscles a lot, I was just surprised at how much they were worked.

Yes on the traps. I've been doing lots of fireman the last few months and it seems to be the culprit here for me.

I have only been shugging for 3 days and noticed that also... but its not the "top" part(where the neck connects to the shoulders), but a bit more on my back... I was shaving in the mirror after my workout and was fascinated.

As a side note I am now finding little muscles that I didnt know existed.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!

I'll have to start using the fireman more frequently. My traps suck. :p
