~How many reps for Shrugs.?

[Stiffler]

I do 15-18reps 6 sets for shoulder shrugs, what does everyone else do?

 

[The mann]

6-8 reps for me,when i do them.......

 

[Bulk]

15 - 18 like you Stiffler because it's relatively easy, if I take too heavy I can't do the movement right anyway.

 

[ballast]

8-10 reps.About 90% of the time, I incorporate pauses in the contracted position.

 

[enrage]

8- 10 reps works well for me

 

[AMP 33]

I vary my reps. I usually go from 12-6 with 3-4 sets

 

[Exodus]

here is the best way to do shrugs

say you can only rep 10-12 with 225.............. then pile 315 on.......... jerk the thing up........ then pause for 2 seconds........ then let it hang back down..... as low as it can

do about 10-12 with this weight holding the shrug as high as you can......... 1-2 sets thats all...........

and at the end let it hang down as low as it can for as long as you can take it

 

[big4life]

I do 3 sets of 12-15 reps for bb and db shrugs.

 

[Daeo]

6-8 reps usually. 10 at the very most...
