I love heavy ass dumbbell shrugs, seems to work for me. 6-10 sets twice a week
Deads, then burn 'em the rest of the way out with heavy shrugs.
Somebody around here taught me that. Maybe HH or OB, I cant remember for sure. Seems to work pretty well for me.
I do heavy dead lifts. Never got into db shrugs. May have to start incorporating into my workout.
Also i have been trying to incorporate rack pulls.
great info
I know alot of guys that do rack pulls, but I just cant swing it. I always feel like Im not really doing deads, but not really do shrugs, or even bent rows. Weird, I know. Just not for me I 'spose.
I have built my traps on a few forms of shrugs.
- regular straight bar bb
- behind the back shrugs
- dumbbell shrugs - allow you hit traps in a deferent position that can't be achieved with most other means.
Always hold on my contraction for a few seconds and after warm up I go heavy.

Frickin' behind the back shrugs are twisted! Again, cant recall who turned me on to them, but thats some major iso-fukin-lation!
DB shrugs = win for me
