Barbell Shrugs

[RandomSydVids]

Lulz baby legs...

[TheAngryBirdsblog]

I personally prefer the roll at the top but this works too.

[babygotaids]

Steroids ?

[fightdelaw47]

Nice rear delts

[S0NICM0US3]

is this guy on roids or wut, that physique possible to achieve natty?

[ultima15]

everytime i load up to do shrugs, i mentally refer to this video. helps alot.

[zabbestpriest]

yo man shit form at 400 lbs..jk

[ali17396]

actuallu im 20 years old weight in at 167lb

training for 2 years

and i can shrug what he shrugs plus exrta 25lb added on each side

and no roids ever....

thats not heavy at all

[simsohi]

@ali17396 And I'm Santa. How do you do?

[texas817847]

@ali17396

Yea, so can a lot of us.

Wheres your video response, Hercules?

[Ingamells17]

@MrDoogie1989 I am surprised Antoine has not replied yet.

But ay, he does comps where they get tested for roids, and yet he still competes, does that not tell you something?

HE trains unbelievably hard and eats like a machine.

My opinion vs yours I guess.

[Ingamells17]

@MrDoogie1989 Why do you think that?

[fcbayernmun]

niec, dude ... 

[darkmanGR]

I wish my gym played that kind of music... I would be like 50lbs bigger!

[super6joint]

ro ro roided upp

[eulogaicarpify]

whoa is that disturbed in the backround? THATS WHY HES SO BUFF!!!!!

[k9r100]

no matter how many plates u got on the bar, if u cheat u are lifting lighter, because ur using the momentum u created using other muscles, in this case the legs and the arms. he still is strong, and he still does lift very heavier than many ppl here, but the point is not to show off how many plates you can put on. no need for hate, just training lighter with good form is the same as training heavier with bad form. and i just got back from doing shrugs.

[drdre8424]

@k9r100 he superset'd 3-4 shoulder exerises w/405lbs...he had good shoulder elevation, natural bend at the elbows and his heels stayed on the ground...i dont think he was doing to show off, he was doing it cuz he could do it, he's clearly strong enough to and he had good from, except towards the end when he was doing reverse shrugs, but thats to be expected.

[KiselevSash]

Distuebed playing)

[Ingamells17]

IF the bar ain't bending, you ain't training hard, that motherfucker is bending!!

[MrEpidemik]

Either way, niggah's on roids

[Ingamells17]

@MrEpidemik Just because someone is stacked, doesn't mean roids you imbecile!

[bulldog6106]

i say thats incredible i wish i was as strong as him i do it with 250 10 times 3 sets is that enough i can get a good range of motion with it?

[arodis12]

dammmmmmnnn

[lifterXofXtheXdead]

good job princess

[tarjr94]

idk why but I thought you were black the first half of the video lmao. really nice, thats a lot of weight :0

[ownbeef]

Disturbed FTW

[Jaywigg3]

FUCKIN BEAST!

[Tozzmozz]

Sir, you're a beast!

[2000fordmustang]

Pretty good for a small guy.

[jwb0711]

what is the song that is playing? anyone know?

[radical228]

@jwb0711 Disturbed-Stricken

[TheHazcam]

wats the point of the straps?

[memzmemz]

@TheHazcam it supports your wrist. Without straps your wrist gets tired first so you train the area u want less.

[TheHazcam]

@memzmemz So if you had gym gloves with wrist straps attached to them that wrap around your wrist will it have the same effect or do you need the straps he uses?

[cbrt2]

@TheHazcam

the straps on ur gloves supports ur wrist

the wrist strapes them selves removes weight of ur wrist thus improvin grip

[XxPTCxBrtualxDeathxX]

hey everyone out there this video is on youtube to show off weight not his work out!!! he dose less then this normaly mosy likely dumass.

[beryliafan]

ur doing it way to fast and aint getting the the full movement, otherwise its rly nice,keep it up dude

[Randomskateboard]

wtf, i want a gym with the same music!

[iceSkar]

damn ,nice traps man! awesome definition

[CheorkeeXP]

Ok this is a serious comment: I can't comfortably perform shoulder shrugs with a barbell because as I pull the bar up it rolls past my penis and testicles. Can be painful but mostly just a small irritation.

Should I lean forward a small bit?

[MOONfacekilla]

@CheorkeeXP no you just dont need to do this exercise. People who look like this guy have small penises that theyre compensating for allowing them to easily roll a metal bar across their pubic area without injuring the genitalia.

[newdrewphillips]

@CheorkeeXP Try doing the shrugs on the smith machine. that way you can alter your stance to accomodate that same issue alot of guys deal with. I take it youre pretty tall w longer arms? Smith is the way to go, and do it reverse grip. as long as your ass isnt that big, you'll blast the shit outta them traps and man, you wont hit your junk at all. peace. (alot of weight, for alot of reps.)

[thareliever08]

that dudes back is sick

[spawnsdarkheart]

man i want my gym to play heavy stuff like this not the pussy 80's 90's pop i have at mine

[kar9sk]

@spawnsdarkheart lol been there dude!

[hydrobot2003]

All Top... no wheels? LOL!

[irushhhh]

do you juice?

[RayinCsharp]

Light Weight ba-ba. You a fool and brah you get mad props. I thought my trap workout was sick-wit-it. Yo... how many sets and do you work traps more than once a week.

[asocaciu]

i always thought the hardest part of doing shrugs was keeping your grip on the bar

[IamBernieZhzh]

@asocaciu yea that was for me too. Thats why i just invested in weightlifting straps! :)

[mylkie]

@asocaciu lol hardest part for me is not whacking my nuts as i come up on the shrug lol

[Death656]

@asocaciu try grabbing a hand tensioner/exerciser it wil help when hold heavy weights (deadlift, rows, shrugs)

[Claymore2408]

Nice song aswell!

[SESbb30]

is there any difference between barbell and dumbell shrugs?

[ludacris333]

@SESbb30 Other than being in a more neutral position using dumbbells, you can handle more weight using a barbell. Thats usually the case when comparing dumbbells to barbells

[scotty073]

good job man!!!

[juniorloz]

Sweet set!

[Henzzman]

Awesome music,awesome traps.What weight are u using? I can do 5 reps with 200kg.

[Hy22n]

Nice, I did the same thing yesterday only with the machine that has an attached bar if you know what I mean.

[InexplicableRage]

@Hy22n smith machine :)

[seymond2000]

Great job! I do something very similar. I go down the dumbbell rack and burnout on each weight doing shoulder shrugs!

[edj2010]

this guys a little bitch!!! haha jk fucking huge traps!! oh and disturbed! awesome music choice dude

[CallMeUncleTony]

steroids

[RayinCsharp]

Hands down, best youtube trap workout I've seen.

[juniorloz]

@RayinCsharp yeah it was, check mine out

[radical228]

does shrugs work your triceps at all? most peoples triceps stick out when they do shrugs lol

[peopleolol]

@radical228 not really, it works forearms more then triceps, cause your using ur forearms to grip the weight, but triceps just tense because theres a force making ur arms go straight. Good question tho.

[Cayvmann]

The shrugs must be working, no matter your form or the weight used. Good work.

I wonder if the people who have trouble with the form displayed have anything approaching these traps.

[trinilovaboy101]

lol great gym to be playing disturbed-stricken in the background but great job

[heidtmanmail]

@trinilovaboy101 better then janet jackson

[S2000rules]

shrugs hurt hella bad but my traps are growing so i'm happy

[angelac543]

whenever i shrug the skin on my thumbs stretches and bunches up, is that normal?does anyone else have this problem?

[bosox0524]

what a meatcuff

[rishajeremiah]

totally agree dude, if your in competition the judges don't count half-way stuff. where i work out you'll catch grief if ya don't do it right. alot of us compete at powerlifting comps at virginia tech.

[nightycrow]

@rishajeremiah powerlifters and bodybuilders are two whole dif things brah!

[rishajeremiah]

@nightycrow i know, i actually try to do alittle of both. that way i can have the physique and the strength. just saying, doing stuff like that will hurt ya in the long run as far as the joints go. but whatever works for ya i quess is the best way for you to go

[fuckthepopeuvf]

im 17 and i was doing shrugs with barbell with around 80 killo and my shoulder blade is relly sore and i cant move my neck to the side any ideas whats wrong?

[achmedboy]

Do you roll your shoulders when you do it (forward or backword)? -Could be rotator cuff

[TheisKlinzingNielsen]

Great mass!!

[andrewjb28]

Take off at least a plate from each side. Thats too much weight for you bro. If you can't raise your shoulders all the way up then your cheating yourself on this workout. :)

[HeavilyArmoR3D]

No hes not cheating himself just look at his traps and tell me whos doing them wrong.. Bodybuilding is not all about full ROM its about stressing the muscle hes obviously doing something right

[vladosaber]

True but hes also using roids!!

[badookoo]

How do you know hes using roids? You know this guy?

[shahzains]

@HeavilyArmoR3D doesnt matter as long as he is injecting himself with juice

[snatch21]

@HeavilyArmoR3D Yeah, taking steroids. That is the only "right" thing !

[TheCooliQ]

@snatch21

i train 3-4 years without a "break" good meals etc. i can do 180kg 4x but the last time when i did it my back hurts i think i should take less weight.

[Anarchyffan]

@HeavilyArmoR3D Actually it is about the range of motion. Your biceps are only strong through a 90 degree range off motion if you only do 90 degree curls...

[nixtermixter]

@HeavilyArmoR3D if u dont use full ROM and keep doing the move like that, the muscle will look funny when developed after few months. idiot he does have mass but it looks weird. when doing the exercise, he only gets the weight up half way, which is why his neck area is alot smaller than the trap area around his shoulders

[metallica929]

@nixtermixter what do you mean full rom? What do you expect him to do with the barbell? clean and jerk with it?

[nixtermixter]

@metallica929 full rom=all the way up and all the way down, not half up and half down

[wolvenmoz]

good work man. screw all haters, i just uploaded my video doing 765lbs and I'm sure to get alot of haters.

[rishajeremiah]

just watched your vid of you doing shrugs and must say you need to drop the weight. now, i am not a hater, i believe in lifting heavy myself but you weren't shrugging the weight you were just bouncing. not to good on the back and all. but hey, i quess you could say that doing that gets you used to holding heavier weight.

[Ikickhardcoreass]

This dude needs some shoulder. we all have a favirote body part to workout and some of us can wokrout certain parts better then others but this dude just needs a little more shoulder.

I must admit im not as big and strong as this guy as hell for sure. but its just a suggestion ya know? this dude beats me by a milestone i still gota workout more deltiods. my arms are bigger then my pecs i love to do isolation curals and tricep kickback variants

[moosemanzion]

Your Cheating Yourself A lil less weight and you would be able to do the excersise properly

[Straightup1ne]

when i do this, it hits my dick...am i doing it right?!

[SoxStar89]

yeh u are jus try not 2 hit ur dick lean back abit

[rojman123]

No range of motion. Leave your ego at the door and do less weight! Great muscle development though.

[mattiscoo4]

i could do 300 pounds, and im 15

[Ikickhardcoreass]

and your ass ripped as this dude?

[eSskate279]

liar

[gj2766155]

everybody is a fuckin critic. they can do that weight. bullshit thats 360 without the bar. if you dont like it tune in somewhere else. Good job buddy , do you.

[farva422663]

@gj2766155 ... Yaaaawwwwnn... Not Impressed sorry to say. But ... all in all ... Not to shabby ... For A Little Guy !! >:-)

[SJPKvideos]

@gj2766155 actually it's 405 but, other than that your riht

[deliveryboy1]

@gj2766155 405 with...

[deliveryboy1]

i love all the comments about his form... look at his body, now look at yours... im pretty sure he knows what he's doin. everyones a fuckin personal trainer on youtube...

[TyHen1989]

steroids!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sta110ne]

thats some serious back development you got there, nice

[daleonz]

ok, girls what do you prefer? A guy who looks over developed - like a goddamned comic book cartoon character or do you prefer a guy who cut and defined?

[JeanLouie1106]

Find us a picture of a Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Wolverine, Cylops or Hulk picture that isn't cut and defined!

[rishajeremiah]

if you look in much older comics, you will find pictures that show them as more realistic. of course though, why would they be realistic, their fictional characters?

who wants to see a fat superhero anyway? nor does anything fat or scrawny inspire greatness.

[tippdustin]

wow looks like he's workin out his calfs more than anything lol

[Amitboy1980]

this is awesome..

[TAKEMARU666]

i do this weight easy but i pause at the traps for a second to 2 seconds he just does it to quik

[7BP7]

i strugle to see how you can all coment on his technique and how he isnt doing it properly when its obviously working for him.everybodies a critic

[yyyy2999]

heh, i only use 40

[LovesATB]

hahaha that made me smile :) same here!

[Phantomplayz]

Juiced.

[giantguy666]

405 pounds?

[vitrixman]

you look good but u leting ur form go too pull more weight bad mistake!!!

[edwardtang1977]

you got kick ass traps! How heavy is that ?

[12twelvemonkeys12]

Amazing, but i'd suggest doing a weight where you can get a full range of motion. Anyway, no lie you have results so keep doing whatever you're doing, just some friendly advice:)

[shortys00100]

lol don't even bother...

[en3rgieboy]

crazy

[stryker4750]

ca té tu deja ariver de faire ce move la pis que le boute dla clavicule endesu du menton te decole pis ksa pince

[rmsolympic1]

He is built like a Brama bull. The shrugs, however, seemed a little fast and truncated. Still, credit given where it is due: he looks very strong.

[bodebldr2000]

Awesome lift and awesome traps but if i were him, i would lighten the weight just a tad so i could lift my traps higher, better squeeze at the top.

[zkb24]

getting too much of a squeeze is pointless

[bodebldr2000]

And just how do you get "to much of a squeeze"? The object of working a muscle is to contract it or squeeze it, then lower in a controlled fashion. All i am saying is that IMO i would have gone lighter and squeezed the muscle more, not saying the guy did it wrong.

[zkb24]

lol....

[VitaminJ]

You serious about that?

[zkb24]

about what

[VitaminJ]

The whole squeeze is pointless

[whosnexttt]

dude the squeeze is one of the most beneficial parts of the exercise

[GeneralFighter911]

hoooly fuck! this guy is Huuge! woow guy goodjob!!! damn..

[jroberts7387]

I've always used a wider grip on barbell shrugs. Will a closer grip hit them harder?

[saintjohnmuscle]

i think it is funny how people are trying to tell him how to lift it proberly he is the best in Canada i think he knows what he is doing

[TheLeprechaunn]

Yeah, "in Canada". Still a dumbass.

[pberrios0223]

u dont seem to have much control, i think you would be better of lessining the weight and pausing up top for a few seconds.

[john3047X]

yeah that would make him so much bigger right

[squatpuke]

damn nice work man....

[bodywrest]

WOW!

[fabien82]

Hey AntoineVai,

How many meals do you eat per day excluding protein shakes

[zkb24]

prolly around 5-7 meals a day, and more than 10+ supplements, and possibly a shot up the ass every morning

[fabien82]

Im sure youre correct about everything except the shot up the ass

[zkb24]

you dont think he takes roids?

[wookieeassassin]

Not everyone that is stronger than you takes steroids.

[zkb24]

oh trust me he is not stronger than me, not everyone is a beast......well i am.....

[tlast2012dude]

steroids

[Nilu666]

fucking well done no one knew that

[tlast2012dude]

mmm the best answer to a "steroids" comment i ever read... u'r right that was a stupid comment... and pretty funny as well

xD last time i post something like that !

[MrSamyboi911]

what do reverse shrugs do?

[DocePares11]

your traps are massive, love it

[11121southedbrooke]

Impressive.

[rore010]

steroids

[tlast2012dude]

i can do that with 661 pounds and my bodyweight is 141 pounds. And i dont take steroids, is all kust a matter or grip. This execice has a low range of motion so is easy to do with lots of weight

[aaadddaaammm777]

lol for some reason i dont believe you.... if your 141 lbs you would have to have 20 lbs of trapezius muscle and I SEROUSLY doubt it nice try

[tlast2012dude]

lol i have a video to prove it... look my 300 Kg shrugs video: watch?v=f9heGJnCOMg

[aaadddaaammm777]

lol sorry the only ones that count as a rep is the whole first set, evrything after that isnt a shrug...ur just lifting it up

[tlast2012dude]

"ur just lifting it up" ... o.0 and i'm doing it using my trapecius... AND i dont use straps, is puse grip strength, not like this guy here.

P.S: the last set was lame i know, BUT... come on, 141bodyweight lifting 661lbs... come on.

[aaadddaaammm777]

u werent lifting the weight up with ur traps.... u just lifted it off the stand and attempted to lift it. the only good lifts were the first set, evrything else wasnt a complete lift....all you were doing was lifting it off the stand lol

[Hawk619MTL]

Is there a difference with the behind the back Shrugs than the front?

[mferguson1281]

I notice that it kind of forces you to use better form keeping your shoulders back and your back straight. I usually use an alternate grip same as I would doing deadlifts when I do my barbell shrugs.

[mqzmcq13]

my god...

[snoopdoggHHH009]

is it just me or this guy looks like john cena?? =/

[SDR213]

good stuff, gotta do that next work out, back is in great shape well done

[MyNamelsJohn]

no offense but i think you would be better doing a lighter weight and performing more of a full motion. up all the way and down all the way.

you are very strong though!

[acnefaceface]

Where the hell do you get off telling the Canadian National how to train? GTFO!

[youngbodybuilder1020]

i'm pretty sure he knows what he is doing

[sonakoya2001]

that guys back is huge

[professorgentzel]

That looks like a great super-set for the traps. For the past 2 years I've been doing at least one shrug variation in my routine, and it seems that higher reps and a lot of volume and frequency can work well for trapezius/neck musculature. I'm definitly going to give this a shot...how many sets of this super-set are recommended?

[bhhfe]

looks like a very good routine. Also, does anyone know what the first song is called?

[jaredstrong]

Stricken from Disturbed.
