power shrugs

[ChinkNasty]

where do yall place these on your back days? beginning or end...i usu. do them as a 'finishing' lift at the end and I feel like if i placed them at the beginning i could hit em harder...what do you guys do?

I haven't had a dedicated back day for a long time but I throw them as a posterior chain exercise or deadlift assist depending on what I'm doing. I then often segue into doing rack pulls as the weight climbs. I'd get my squats done before these in either case.

I added them to my 5 x 5 on M-F. Squat-Bench-Row-PS. No rhyme or reason, I just tacked them on at the end

It's working out well, I think. Even though I do them from the hang as per MC2's suggestion, it's a relatively small move. Main thing is getting psyched up for the weight.
