incline DB shrugs?

[KillahBee]

anybody perform these? I am integrating them into my rot cuff strengthening program and am wondering something- the program I am following calls for incline shrugs to be done face down on the bench- does this sound right?

 

[Liftbig]

yeah it sound right, make sure your focus on pinching your shoulder blades together reall hard in the movement,.

I believe Spatt's refer's to them as "Kelso Shrugs".

...and what Liftbig said....

a form question: am I just letting my arms hang straight down almost even with my chest?

It was actually phrased poorly, I guess it would depend on what incline you were using. thanks for the input, I'm gonna try these tomorrow.

is there a difference between the incline and regular shrugs??

 

[d3track]

the incline helps with the lower prtion of the traps, really completes the diamond shape
i'm shure they are very useful in stronman comps, those athletes seem to have the ultimate traps
