A jump shrug is a power shrug....just 2 different names....they are typically done inside of a rack and deweighting on the pins is acceptable....a Hawaian Shrug (coined when Bill Starr was the S and C coach at The U of H) is just a power shrug outside of the rack with the first rep pulled from the floor and no de-weighting.......I do sort of a combo, I go in the rack because I feel I pull enough from the floor, but I don't deweight on the pins.
Lee, the main reason they are more effective is because you can use more weight and overload the upper back more.....I know, people are gonna say "but weight over form??", the thing is a jump shrug isn't a cheating shrug, it is a dynamic pull, and the back is just made for dynamic pulling.
