Anyone does Barbell shrugs from the back? ?

[MAXX]

and by dumbells you mean Big Macs ?

lol i actually laughed at that 

[Parker]

I think it hits more of the back of the traps but is the difference that significant? Anyone tried them and what are your opinions?

When I did do them, I noticed a that the bottom of the traps got real thick. But they are awkward to do for me. I have to have the bar above my butt, because i got a big ass .

[spinnis]

my ass tends to get in the way

I like to use a barbell to the front, bending slightly forward - better stretch and ROM

same here. and I have a tiny ass

[Zaphod]

I used to do them just because whenver I did them in the front the bar would always hit my junk and that was no fun!

Now I do them to the front but on a smith machine, safer positioning for the boys!!!

How short are your arms? 

[Bones]

   No,my big fat ass keeps getting in the way.

[QuakerOats]

just do em to the front.

[Bones]

just do em to the front.

...I don't have to worry about my package getting in the way

[Ursus]

better from back

[QuakerOats]

you can use more weight from the front and that is the single most important reason for doing them in front.

[Ursus]

yes big weights equal a big ego.

[Pecs]

By the way traps are a muscle group that should not be too developed if the dude got a short neck...he will be neckless..(if that is a bad thing)

The Hammer Strength shrug machine allows you to vary where you pull with the shrug and the BB is not hitting your ass when you do em reverse.  Pretty flexible machine for doing different angle shrugs in.

Agree. You can do them standing or sitting. It's a great machine.

Yes.I also use dumbells,straight bar in the front,the seated machine,sometimes I stand while using the machine,and sometimes I turn around standing and use the machine.
