This is a movement i never see being used...OK could be different in the US and UK. I normally like the feel of Dumbbells for this movement but i think i will experiment with rear Barbell shrugs next chest/back workout. Maybe front BB shrugs and then rear BB shrugs a bit like front and rear delt presses for shoulders and could maybe give a more thourough workout.. opinions??

Behind the neck feels a bit awkward for me at least.
From the front I sometimes use a wider grip, like olympic snatch lift.
Don't really see/feel any difference in results? Normal grip from the front allows most poundages though.

he's talking about shrugs... not presses i switch in rear barbell shrugs every other workout...i like them when i feel like shit because i can use less weight but get a good strict trap squeeze |

The extra wide (collar to collar if possible..different kind of stretch for the traps), middle and close grip (6" apart) have caused some very good improvement for a lot of Bb'ers. Two sets each , 8 to 12 reps,all in the same trap workout. Don't know why people never seem to experiment with different hand spacing/grips on so many standard exercises, like the simple shrug. Could make a exercise you get nothing from into something special for a lot of guy's, just by a simple grip change.
If read shrugs work for you, than great..though some find it a very limiting exercise.
Best trap experience would be power cleans or Hi-pulls, bar none. Thick, full development..no doubt. Good Luck.

Yeah he did. I tried them after seeing him doing them in a mag years ago. I didn't like them. |

I first saw them when Lee Haney was doing them many moons ago, and I will alternate them with regular shrugs. But on the Smith Machine I can change my angle and foot position, but you want to go for higher reps than weight.
