Ah ok, it burns my traps lots more pulling them back I did it with light DB's just as a warm up before...

aah I can go heavier anyway just straight up and down and I feel less off a n00b going to the heavy end of the DB rack

How well does weight usually progress with shrugs? Im only 7.5kg away from the heaviest pair...

You will still have barbells to work your traps, beast

Yeah I know I just prefer the DB's, when I shrug with the BB is always catches my balls on the bar lol. Behind The Back shrugs maybe. I just prefer DB's...

My gym only goes up to 90lb dbs though...

The way rippetoe teaches shrugs in Starting Strength you load up a barbell with 10 to 15% > your 1RM deadlift (this load is important).

Do this in the power rack with the pins at mid thigh. So its kind of like a rack pull but it starts way way up.

The execution is like a power clean in that you explode up shrugging your shoulders like you are trying to touch your ears, then put the bar back down. Each rep starts dead off the pins. Remember, use more weight than your 1RM deadlift. As your deadlift goes up, increase these proportionately

Do 5 sets by 5 reps once per week at most. Always use straps.

I have neglected the shrugs for so many years that the weight I can use on them it's significntly lower than the one I use to do my deads, gotta work it up.

Yeah, rippetoe talks about it as an accessory type exercise to help get your deadlift up. This is the reasoning for the load. I've been doing them about every other week.

Great this will get me closer to pulverize the 495lbs. I just didn't know about resetting the bar on the pins, makes perfect sense for strength purposes.

OK, I will try these when I DB shrug the heaviest DB's at the gym for 5 reps. Gym DB's only go up to 90lb and Im at 75lbers now.
