[tacobell0wns]

Carlton?

[50centfaneminem]

when the weight get heavy you got grip it and wear straps. fingertips is not good advice

[StokedBeastMotoDr]

@50centfaneminem why is that

[50centfaneminem]

@StokedBeastMotoDr try putting 3 plates on the bar and slowly contract. your grip will give out before your muscles do. so finger tips make no sense i mean unless u dont want to grow

[fireinmycrotch]

[NotYourAverageJoe321]

good video, thanks bud

A Cam bar works so much better. Doing it behind your back doesn't allow you to use much weight. Using a straight bar in front makes you tend to lean a little forward. The Cam bar allows you to hold your hands at your sides while your 'shrug' with your traps. You can use a lot of weight with good form.

lol

[yul987]

when doing sets, or 6-8 reps for muscle mass gain, what is the optimum resting time?ALSO WHAT IF I Can do 8 reps the 1st time and only 5 the next set?

[s1mme]

@yul987 probably rest 1 min between sets, and lower the weight if you can go 8 first set and only 5 the next.. im skinny and i do shrugs with ~40 pound weights in each hand and go 20x3

[h00may841]

@yul987

Mate i normally do 3 sets of either 12,8 or 6 & if your struggling to keep up the same reps throughtout the excercise, i would advise you to lower the weights to a comfortable weight which is liftable but also works your muscles. Keep a notepad with your excercise/weight(what your lifting) so you can see when you are improving :) hope this was helpful

[asulike2]

this guys vids are so stoned LMAO

[alexkenig1]

Great thanks for good video!

[ballerzblock7]

thanks

[bmmggbhg4life]

great exercise! hits the traps at a different angle, + it's harder than doing them in front.

[ChicanaPeach]

I have this scheduled for my workout tomorrow. Lets see how it goes. Thanks for the vid demonstration!

[FinalFan0]

This exercise is so hard for me, because I am forced to manuver the bar around my ass.

[Hawk619MTL]

Same lol

[bushmasterb2k]

LMAO

[naarakyuu]

for me too.. haha

[straightupballin3]

haha no hard feelings i get the same problem

[kingofcraig]

FinalFan0 - You need to lose some weight then if that is the case.

[FinalFan0]

Nice job on the Necro-post, I'm also about 40lbs lighter now than I was when I made this post.

[kingofcraig]

The 'dead topic', well I was flicking over the vids in gerenal the other night and just came across your post (I wasn't looking at the date). Well I am glad you have lost weight, I wasn't having a 'pop' at you. I was just saying...?

[maxdragonn]

@FinalFan0 oh dude! I thought I was the only one that couldn't get that bar past my ass! Thanks for the comment, it gave me a good laugh, lol.

[XxBlackWatchxX]

@FinalFan0

I'm not alone!

THX!

[tdn12a3]

@FinalFan0 hey i got the same when i first started. but i got the ass problem solved! i bend my knee a little bit and pinch my shoulder blades together. this exercise is great to work your middle and lower traps which require pinching your shoulder blades together.

[ragekz]

Looks good to me, with a nice explanation. I also like how you do the lift with minimal weight so that you can stress form and talk through it easily. I hate it when guys let their egos get in the way, and post videos of lifts with what seems to be close to their max weight, and they're gasping and grunting through the explanation. Nobody cares how much you can lift!!!
