How To: Wide-Grip Barbell Shrug

[MrCranberry777]

i believe hes trying to demonstrate the snatch grip shrug.now this exercise really hits the traps hard.also,the snatch grip deadlift and shrug.start with a snatch grip deadlift from the floor,come up like in a regular dead,and procede directly into a shrug before putting the bar to the floor.absolutely killer-5x5 on both.

[TheGrizzlyBear69]

I hate barbell shrugs my dick always gets in the way...

[andriante]

@TheGrizzlyBear69 Hahaha yeah. That's why I don't do em.

[IndianPeople123]

Whenever I do Barbell Shrugs the right side of my face gets handicapped whenever I pull it up...

[CruzPui]

scott, my hands always get blisters after i do this exercise... is it normal? is there any method to avoid those blisters?

[UrAJeW14]

My balls also feel the wrath of trap day LOL

[yakumochan13]

how many reps and sets do you do of these?

[krunkinkevin]

should i do this on back day or shoulder day?

[gornaak22]

@krunkinkevin I do it on shoulder DAAY!!! LOLCOPTER!

[IncMrLiMPit]

I'd like to see some of the people correcting his form...The guy clearly knows what he is doing.

[Menacexp]

he's rolling his shoulders in some of his reps...a big no no

[mjh34mjh34]

My ball sack gets in the way.

[sub7design]

You give the shittiest instruction. 

[mrdave777]

thanks Scott for now lifting a normal weight an average Joe like me can do....not 3 45's on each side like you used too!!!

[01100111000]

how many times did you up your weights on your sets before you noticed you were diesel? I guess i should ask increments, too.

[NHerekiuha]

I don't recommend doing this if  you have rotator cuff problems.

[super1range]

what if we do closer grip? what will that work more on?

[NHerekiuha]

@super1range I'm pretty sure it still works things the same, but the wider grip helps more for training as far as muscle confusion goes, as your raising your shoulders on a sightly different angle.

[BigSamFoSho]

Yo Scott, do you want to be a bodybuilder or do you just want to be a "fit" guy? I always watch your videos and I have no clue what are your goals.

[eksmanm16]

@BigSamFoSho he is a fitness model so i dont think he wants to be a bodybuilder

[JayDuck77]

Are those do-decagon 45 pounders????? 0.o That is much cooler than circles...

[SpitzB]

Just wondering.. How tall are you?

[Aknight292]

@SpitzB i think he said he's 5' 10" and around 170 lbs...or something like that

[Arunictrichloride]

traps? what traps?

[MistaNoize]

scotts a bit crazy

[adjuvants12780]

i always have a problem with shrugs with the barbell. when i shrug the bar gets caught under my manhood and kinda flops it up an down wen.  any suggestions?

[merezfinestz08]

@adjuvants12780 do it further out or stick your dik to your leg with glue or sumin

[Jakobdude93]

@adjuvants12780 hahahah :P.. id. try doin it with dumbells

[america101010]

@adjuvants12780 watch?v=3Mf_4J2DNSE.. Bend your lower back keeping your spine straight. That should solve the problem

[jjdons85]

@adjuvants12780 hahaha i have the same problem...before i do my shoulder workout i usually wear smooth shorts to let the bar glide across my thing.. or u can just use dumbells...do what u prefer

[boozled86]

@adjuvants12780 wrap it round your leg

[bambarby]

damn whenever i do shrug i automatically make funny face when i pull the weight up lol

[cm1315yo]

@bambarby haha lol me too XD

[Cold1Forged]

@bambarby I make what my friend calls the "face of death" xD

[customphoenixwings]

@bambarby OMG me too lol. i make this face like I unno and shrug

[andrefaaa]

@bambarby 

[superrubiksman]

@bambarby Me to lol i think its because traps are close to your face.

[james9689]

Hope scott doesn't mind me putting this here.

If you lean forward keeping good strict form and do the shrugs you will be shrugging up just like here but it will working your traps on your back rather than your shoulders/neck

[USMC010Parra]

yeah it's a good workout I known about and use it, but not as much cause I hate how the bar rubs on your penis all the time it's uncomfortable

[timebandit125]

HENCH
