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?

Bingo.  The shoulder girdle is one of the weakest links in the entire body.  The shoulders should never rotate one tiny bit during a shrug movement IMO.

I tilt my body slightly forward,backward and straight up and down when I shrug to hit more of the muscle. The Trapezius muscle covers half your fucking back, not just the part that joins to your neck that everyone wants to look good.

Kevin lookin good doing shrugs. Thats some heavy weights!

[onlyme]

I found doing dumbell upright rows works the best for my traps more than shrugs.  I always did my heavy shrugs as the last exercise.

Correct, Pandaemonium.

I'd rather have a Knee replacement than a torn rotator cuff

Doubt this man ever did shrugs,let alone rolled his shoulders.But he did deadlift plenty.Look at the 59sec mark.

Holy shit.
Now, those are traps and neck muscles.

[shiftedShapes]

for overhead dumbell flyes you keep shoulders and elbows locked out.  Start with the weights fully overhead and lower to the sides to horizontal and raise back up.  the traps function is analogous to the pecs, so just as you isolate pecs with flyes you isolate traps with overhead flyes.

you are right. i see no benefit with rolling the shoulders. i do like behind the back shrugs though

[jonsande]

The question of rolling shoulders during shrugs is moot. Shrugs are a waste of time and energy.  Deadlifts and bent rows provide all the trap work you need. 

I'm pretty sure that most people do shrugs just as an ego exercise to be seen holding heavy dumbbells.

Croatch might have the best set of traps I've seen on a natural

Yes!

Shrugs are a great exercise.

Saying shrugs are unnecessary because bent rows work traps is like saying barbell curls are unnecessary because dumbell curls work bis too.

Isn't it more like saying not to do barbell curls because chins works them too?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA before I even opened the thread I had a quick response.

Rolling shoulders is completely useless!

I always get on my friend about it, he reads to much Muscle & Fitness

You're a little smartass, smaul... 

I think you got my point.



















































Fuck yeah, you're right and i was wrong.
