  • Rotating shrugs are very, very dangerous because in the weight-range you need for proper stimulation you are wide-open to creating a chronic rotator cuff injury that could end your lifting days. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one...They are not needed normal shrugs will do fine

  • also, be carefull you dont overwork yourself, big traps are also partly genetic

  • @shawn92 YES .. DOIN THE ROW IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU AT ALL .. IT WORKS NOTHING .. THE WAY IN THE VID IS THE WAY TO BUILD YOUR TRAPS

  • lolz. i weight 55 kilopounds and lift 10x 90 kilo.. x 3.. ofc

  • are you stupid deadlift does lower back shrugs do traps...

  • someone in here do this? and is getting big traps?

  • i heard shrugs were just lazy workout for those who didnt wanna deadlift. lol. sounds like me. hahaha. i like shrugs better than deadlift. for me it works my traps more than deadlift.. but yeah

  • what would be a good home workout to get trapezius if you don't have shrugs? if there is any please reply

  • I workout regularly and intensively. I have all the nice delts, chest, back. arms abs and legs but I just don't have nice and define traps. I do my shrugs and upright row, but I just don't seem to develop them.

    Is it because I'm doing it wrongly? Any suggestions and advice??

  • does doing shrugs work your lower chest too? cuz it seems to make my lower chest bigger whenever i do shrugs

  • I'm unable to do heavy deadlifts due to asymmetrical/twisted spinal support muscles, shrugs work wonders on my traps.

  • does barbell and dumbbell create the same growth of muscle?
