Anybody on here routinely use 700 pounds for shrugs ?

Hell I'd be too tired from loading up 700lbs to even try it.
oh,and the answer would be NO.

I feel that 700lbs is too light and that shrugs should be more of a lower back movement than anything. When I go sub-700 my calves dont burn enough to feel like I really did anything.

Is "hump the air" shrug the same as "power" shrugging?

No.  I wouldnt think so.  Hump the air shrugs usually require a bodyweight below 170 and no fucking clue s to what you're doing.

exactly.  I get sick of these skinny twats doing this cheat shrug shit.  A "shrug" to me is not cheated at all.  And it doesn't involve the whole body (as opposed to a clean).  The lower back and abs stabilize the body, the legs keep you grounded, and the movement is done with the traps.  Anything else is just bullshit ego lifting.

Why do you actually care to feel sick of skinny twats doing cheat reps or watever?? Really dont get why anyone would care if someone else does their exercise different, as long as your form is 'perfect' then you will be growing and they wont right??

I believe that heavy (maybe also partiell reps) shrugs have a good potentiel to stimulate the traps.

Or is here someone who say, "deadlift don`t build traps ?"

I deadlift over 400, but never go above 315 for shrugs, that's pretty heavy right there, especially if you are really doing the movement properly. Though I much prefer DB shrugs, feels like a more natural hand position.
