Redpill me on shrugs. Are they waste of time or actually useful? If so, what's better barbell shrugs or dumbbell shrugs?

Trap bar shrugs are best imo but progression can be difficult because you have to deadlift a trap bar off the ground

Did shrugs, my traps were kill nexr day. Never again.

Also, low reps high weight or high reps lower weight?

they're kinda pointless tbqh. i naturally have big traps anyway.

idk

What real life functionality do shrugs provide? will they strengthen my neck? for wrestling/boxing

Olympic lifts

Big meme, if you can deadlift 3pl8+ what the fuck is a 20kg dumbell going to do?

Oly lifts, or power shrugs help. Your traps get built form the eccentric movement of a heavy barbell trying to rip your shoulders out of the socket

Post body retard

traps prevent your arms from falling off.

Idk why asking a question makes me a retard
Hmm

le skipped leg day meme but for back day

Traps look nice already, I retract my retard statement
Nice work user

with a pencil neck and scrawny body like that, it's VERY clear you don't do heavy lifts of any kind period ya fucking faggot

I've been following Jeff's advice and do pyramid scheme reps from 1-10-1 and it feels great

They're pretty much a waste of time.
Deadlifts, farmer's walks, barbell rows, and many other exercises all work your trapezii. There's no need to train them any further.

ive hit 1/2/3/4
1.5 2.5 3.5 for 1 rep
190 kg for 1 rep diddly

not saying im eddie hqll but its hard to build muscle at 191 cm lol


bunch of aggressive manlets on here.


thanks

If you have a squat rack, you could start from the safeties.

Wouldn't big traps make your shoulders look narrower, minimizing your v-taper?

Yes this is why golden era bodybuilders didn't like traps, but it's all about your preference

Depends on your trap insertions imo
Mine insert low so all they really do is create thickness around my shoulder area

high weight high reps

based.
unironically the best way to do them

Is it possible for these to hit your neck(not traps)?

Your neck is made up from your traps partly.
Very heavy shrugs, Oly lifts and deadlifts will make your neck thicker
