You don't do compound or isolation movements?

 

Shrugs always make people make the funniest faces too

 

Can confirm

Source: just did shrugs

 

I love the funky chicken head bob most people do when shrug

 

It's science… It makes you do more weight


( I don't do that)

 

Bro, I don't even lift.

 

More shrugs = More hugs

Lady at the bank today surprised hugged me from behind and almost climaxed.

 

oh for sure!!! i use the power of basic physics concepts to make the weight go up and down

 

I agree w/ you! It did work for me. I still shrug 2 coors light 30 packs every time I walk by the beer section in the grocery store.

 

Above the knee Rack pulls into shrugs are what I like to do for traps.

 

Besides shrugs, what do you do for shoulders?

While I'm thinking of it, barbell or dumbell shrugs..and why?

 

I prefer dumbbell shrugs just because it's more natural for me to hold the weight off to my sides opposed to in front of me, as is done with bb shrugs. I guess it's a balance thing.

My typical shoulder workout consists of:

an up and down movement: seated or standing military press with dumbbells or barbell or a machine overhead press
an outward movement: side dumbbell raises or cable raises
a frontward movement: front dumbbell raises or front raises with a 45 lb weight
a rear shoulder movement: bent over dumbbell raises, reverse pec dec flies, bent over cable raises
a trap movement: dumbbell or barbell shrugs, cable rope upright row, barbell or dumbbell upright row, farmers walk

So, that's 5 exercises that hit every part of the shoulder. I usually do 3-5 sets of anywhere from 5 to 15 reps with about a minute break in between.

 

Agree 100%.

 

Isolation movements don't work.

Does clenching your glutes and penguin walking 50 yards after eating 2 probiotic yogurts count as a workout?

New workout shirt my wife bought me ❤

 

But do you squat...?

 

Got a new pr on squats last night since surgery. Got 315x3. I can say that I feel my shoulder mobility is about 95% at this point. Which my surgeon orginallh said that if I got to 95% I would be doing great but not to expect anything over that because of how they had to re attach it

So that puts my lifts at

315s
535d
315b( I've attempted higher on bench but it was too ugly to count)

 

Yup. I squat a lot more often than I used to. I high bar since I can't low bar, but at least I can do 225 for 5. I could probably do maybe 275ish if I tried but I haven't tried to max out or do higher reps yet.

Legs are more defined too!
