Problems with shrugs..

[Marcoparc]

I wonder if we could make a Sticky Comprehension Test a prerequisite for posting in this forum...

A small minority of the people at this website have this compulsion with getting extremely irritated when someone new asks a question which may already have been addressed. Get over it. Is it costing you any money? Do you have to read it? Does a fairy lose her wings everytime someone posts a question that's already answered?

Really, I do apologize for this gargantuan imposition. No one else seems to have bothered. Actually, maybe a lot of people were bothered, but unlike you, they showed some restraint. Really, this doesn't hurt you in any way. Every person is unique. Had I not posted here, I wouldn't have known that 90lbs is weak for a grip. Despite what you might think, not everyone aspires to a life as a bodybuilder. This is not common knowledge as far as I know.

For those of you who have taken the time to advance my knowledge, thank you.

start doing farmers walk, fat bar timed holds, and dp tosses. this will bring your grip up to par quickly.

This is another reminder of the delay, on you part, into the BE RUDE To THAT SHIT!!!1! administration.

Took your advice guys. Shrugged about 210 no problem with olympic bar. Did overhand/underhand which made it easier, but my grip is still not strong enough. I'm doing exercises to improve it.

Thanks a lot guys, if I had any karma to give out I would.

I have really slopped shoulders... I guess this is really going to contribute to that? I have pretty wide shoulders when I stand up straight, and I am certainly not a no-neck, but I'd like to get a more square look. Are shrugs going to prevent this?

over under for shrugs....

no.

you are working with an internally rotated shoulder and one externally rotated shoulder. how do you think the balance will be muscularly?

How does this affect arm/shoulder/back development when used for deads? Should I be swapping grip sometimes to stop asymmetries developing?

Where is that from, lol??? Regardless, it made me laugh for about 10-15 min non-stop at work.
