What I enjoy are the guys that roll there shoulders back, in a circular motion....so they get a full ROM. LOL. THat is priceless.

Deadlift, BB row, and Jump Shrug for 60 days. Take some dbol if you have it. Get some bigger t-shirts, you will need them.

I also think overhead squats are great for trap development. That is what is so great about training the Olympic lifts. Damn near every movement has trap in it. The top of the jerk, cleans, etc. Pretty much we get 4 sessions a week of pulling from the floor.

Your traps are not ''uneven'' but you likely have poor posture & over-pronated shoulders.

How exactly do BB shrugs damage the shoulders?

Deadlift, BB row, and Jump Shrug for 60 days. Take some Dianabol - methandrostenolone - if you have it. Get some bigger t-shirts, you will need them.

one tool came up to me and told me that i could injure my shoulders doing it straight up and down... then told me i was cheating by using leg momentum!

so the shrug machines are inferior to DB shrugs - period? is the RO
M different/?

Barbell is 1st
DB's are a distant 2nd
Machines are worthless

In my opinion...

1) Heavy freaking weights make the traps grow...really heavy weights.

2) Try doing some holds for time with a REALLY heavy machine or Dbells. I have a car deadlift set-up with side handles that will fry my traps. Same with farmers walks.

I can't remember when I trained my traps. More than a decade maybe? It is one of the body parts people notice most on me. I'm also shooting to pull more than 730 raw before 2008.

DB shrugs and Hammer Strength Shrugs are superior to Barbell shrugs

The ideal hand position while shrugging and most natural is palm facing INTO the body
NOT an over hand grip on a rigid flat bar
