Has anyone actually ever got results doing this?
Ive done a lot of shrugging over the past few years lifting and my upper traps are still pretty horrible/non-existent from the front, they only look god when I flex them.
Has anyone actually ever got results doing this?

I think it's the upper body equivalent of training calves

you have to go real fucking heavy on shrugs to get results
Camden Price
Heavy rack pulls above the knee.

My traps are fine without ever doing shrugs, i feel like OHP and lateral raises are more than enough.
But if you feel like you are lacking on that area then sure shrugs will help you.
Chase Brooks

Lucas Young

I've gotten very good results from shrugs. Once I started doing them properly and with the same intensity that I used on other lifts my traps exploded.
Bentley Hall
do power shrugs as rip teaches em
do them with heavier weight than your max DL

I can deadlift 160kg for 5, but I can barely shrug 100kg for 5.
Wtf am I doing wrong? my dick and balls get in the way, my back hurts, if I try behind shrugs, the bar hits my ass, so thats also not an option.
I just dont "Get" how to shrug.
Shrugging 100kg hurts my lower back, but Deadlifting 160kg doesn't. HELP
Cameron Jenkins
Do heavy overhand deadlifts and bent over rows

Alex did rackpulls too much
Have you seen his hamstrings? theyre non existent. He needs to go back to pulling from the floor, just for the sake of his hamstring development.

Range of motion with behind the back shrugs is less. The bar doesn't need to come above your ass, you just need to have full contraction of your traps at the top.
Are you making sure to properly brace your core during your sets of shrugs? Remember that even though it's a super simple exercise you're still holding a ton of weight infront of your body. Also make sure that the descent of the weight is slow(ish) and controlled. If you're going to cheat, cheat the weight up and lower it down slower. If you're pretty much letting the weight drop from the top position and recatching it at the bottom it will wreak havoc on your lower back.
As for the dick and balls getting in the way, it helps to be leaning forward very slightly during the reps. The bar path should still be straight up and down, but you'll be able to clear your twig and berries. Just make sure you're bracing properly like I said.

Fuck off, thats just myspace camera trickery.
Pic related, from his latest video. Without the myspace camera trickery you can see his traps, neck and delts aren't big like that.
ITS ALL ILLUSION, people BUY THE ILLUSION.
STOP FALLING FOR THE FUCKING YOUTUBE CON MEN

All of this is absolutely correct This is exactly how I have been doing shrugs, and it's definitely a noticeable difference; in several areas.
Christian Parker
I see.
Where should I have the barbell positioned on my rack for barbell shrugs?
At my waist?
At where my hands end up when lowered down?
I think maybe i have the bar on the safties either too high or too low
Robert Miller
are you retarded? everyone's traps are going to disappear when they're shrugging. holy shit i was momentarily baffled by the magnituted of brainletism i just encountered

Be honest with me, how much money have you spent on buying fitness youtuber programs? LOL
Cooper Martinez
I have heard that farmer walks/carries are actually horrible for your knees.
Ethan Hall
other than clothes i dont think ive ever bought anything over the internet, how is it relevant to your lack of understanding of basic anathomy?
Ethan Reyes
Use dumbbells for shrugs, dum dum.
Jacob Ward
traps get a ton of stimulation from ohp, pulling from the floor, rows, chinups/pullups
there's no need for most people to isolate traps
Colton Nelson
They probably are but WHO CARES WE'RE FREAKS
Mason Wilson
I used to do sets of these during my DL warmup, got insane results from it
