On the way up, if you bring your shoulders back just a smidge, you will involve more posterior trapezoid and middle rhomboid fibers

I finally agree with you.  I hate it when I see guys do it this way.  The movement is just like when you shrug your shoulders when you say "I don't know".

Let me guess, you had your hardest shoulder workout ever when someone in the gym asked you which celebs you HAVEN'T met while you where holding some dumbells....  ::) ::)

Is it me, or it this utterly pointless.  It always seems to be the guy blasting the 60's, who really focus on rolling their shoulders back.  I'm pretty sure this isn't great for your rotator cuffs.  I never roll my shoulders and my traps are pretty decent...strange? ;)

A great way to become a phyical therapy patient!! ;)

wrong nder. rolling your shoulders is the best. shrug and pause at the top and roll.

WRONG, there sarge,, ask any physical therapist or trainer that is the WORST thing you can do. You have any idea how small your rotator cuff muscles are?  You are supposed to try to bring your shoulders to the bottom of your ears.. Keep rolling your shoulders and see what happens ::) ::)

No monkeydong, nice try though.  it is because I had nice big and very strong shoulders.  Nice try, but someone like you shouldn't respond to a thread that involves discussing training since we all know what you look like.  Stick to what you know about, planting flowers and Goodrum trivia.

Kazmaier did PLENTY of shrugs just like most powerlfters do, in his training manual he said he alternated heavy low rep workouts with higher 25-30 rep stuff.

I have seen experts divide the traps into trapezius I, II and III. You can hit the lower traps by bending forward more. Just shrug straight up, the torso angle makes the difference.

Levrones traps would have been a lot smaller in M3 if he took less drugs.
Thanks for the great observation

shrugs are a bullshit ego movement

if you want to hit the traps properly do overhead dumbell flyes.

Exactly.

Doing bent BB rows will hit the lower portions, when doing shrugs it's best to do them straight up and down. i like to hold at the top for a 1 second count.
