I'm not a powerlifter, and god forbit I ever train for bodybuilding alone, I just generally enjoy lifting things and getting stronger overall.

But how would I (now) should go about building a decent "hood". As in those bundle of upper body muscles, the upper peck, the delts, and traps, that all tie in together forming a great "hood" over your upper-body (imagine if you where a car, that area would probably be the equivalent of the hood, hence call it "hood"). See Picture related.

I figure that in that it would be great to develop that look over the long-run, so what is a good routine or just general exercises that I should implement just to work those muscles?

Built mine with shrugs. I liked a 5-10 second hold at the top. It's such a short movement that you need to increase time undet tension to get any sort of hypertrophic benefit.

Dumbbell work for upper-pec, upright rows for traps and delts, shrugs for delts, and lateral/front/rear delt raises.

Just include them in your program and you are good to go.

Incline bench
Power cleans
OHP
Lateral Raises

1. pull heavy shit up towards your neck
2. repeat

roids and weighted dips

Z-press and front rack holds (or chain front squats) seem to build the chest girdle and upper back incredibly well. Doing shrugs religiously will also help the traps. It's unlikely that 1x5 deadlift will hit your traps enough.

People under 5'9" can get pretty huge traps and delts naturally.
>>
Deadlifts.
OHP AND push press.

literally disregard every single dyel faggot that's replied to this thread so far and listen to this swole turbomanlet because he has the right idea
>do stupid-heavy pulls, rack pulls above the knee preferably. let the weight stretch your upper back muscles
>push heavy shit above head however you like. your 7lbs perfectly controled 4-0-2 tempo lateral rises aint gonna do shit, increase your vertical push and your delts will grow.
>do not overlook the neck, the most underappreciated body part yet one of the most important for big yoke
>if you do shrugs do them heavy and in an explossive manner, forget slow-and-controled bullshit, disregard form as long as the weight is going up and down
>>

idk, im not believing that whore because he doesnt have what he claims knows how to train you dig?

In lay term means, neck, shoulders and traps have a lot MORE AR (androgen receptors) than any other body part.
>>
Overhead The Press with lockouts at the top.

I can rep my bodyweight with the press, and I've got a good hood.
>>
>>39885953
There's a good article about focusing on the explosive movement and ignoring the rest to build power. Been using it lately for advanced bodyweight (more planche power and one arm chin ups) and it's great.
>>
>>39886043
Left pic still has huge looking traps and shoulders. It's a matter or proportions not biology. I'm 6'4, power clean 350 and OHP 210, and my traps and shoulders look proportionally much smaller than his.
It's like how in porn they try to cast short girls and manlet guys so the dicks look bigger.
>>
>>39885415
you need to do a lot of heavy pulling, deadlifts, RDLs, rack pulls are all good

you need to do side and rear laterals, you might also include shrugs
>>
>>39886104
Oh i see, because thats your body it must be true whatever you are saying, i mean disregard science and medical studies, you watching your body have the right assesment.

Got it.

>powermemes and ohp
>building bigger delts
Yeah, not gonna happen buddy.
