Do you prefer barbell or dumbell shrugs? Does it make any difference?

I unironically stand in front of a preacher curl machine (Hammer Strength), and pull up on the handles. It looks weird, but it works, and hits the traps at a great angle.

>Innovation.

Those are called farmers walks

Barbell shrugs allow for more absolute weight but DBs feel better. Either way all about that P O W

I do rack pulls

I prefer not to do them because any heavy back movement involves the traps and I'd rather not waste time doing an accessory that doesn't have a benefit

If you could tore it was weak and you are better off without it.
Muscle evolution baby!

i miss /fitlit/

Snatch grip deadlifts and farmers walks are much better than db shrugs

Gotcha senpai

XD

>shrugs are dumb

shrugs are one of those "game changer" moves
but you have to come to that realisation on your own, and in your own time

>tfw no "secret" board for /fitlit/ accessible by typing /fitlit/ onto the end of the Veeky Forums url where it just collates all the threads on both boards

is thread ded? I just want to know how Veeky Forums feels about facepulls for traps. Like, how is it compared to shrugs?

Their called trap dances. Fucking normies.

>wanting big traps
>doing shrugs

Lol, how do you even use traps in facepulls?

>working a muscle that is already completely overloaded and way too strong in anyone

Total game changer yeah.

>Do you prefer barbell or dumbell shrugs?
I do dumbell shrugs to warm up, then i do shrugs in front and behind the back in the smith machine, thats the only thing that damn machine is good for

yup this, this is the ultimate shrug

dumbell, do them like this for maximum trap gains

...

Shugs are probably one of the worst exercises you can do. It's an isolation exercise with a very limited ROM on the muscle it works.

barbell, because we don't have 200lbs dumbells

So what do you sugest to do to work that muscle?

If you are not shrugging more than you deadlift, then you are wasting your time. Therefore dumbbell shrugs are retarded simply because you can't get heavy enough dumbbells.

Also this, although I would say a hex bar is slightly better because the raised handles make it easier to lift (unless your trap bar has raised handles too).

traps up to my ears

Holy shit are you me? I thought I invented that move

scar tissue doesn't make you stronger dingus

I dig the name

>that guy strict shrugging 60kg looking like a IFBB wannabe

just load 500 pounds on a bar and cheat shrug it you fucking idiot

include me in the screencap

t. never shrugged above 400

...

I prefer dumbell.

this is all you need. Shrugs are dumb and bad for your neck.

The best way to feel my traps is actually doing shrugs with big ass gasoline type cans, I usually do like 15 and then without dropping them I do a farmer walk till I feel like dying. cans kinda feel better in my hands than dumbells

Right, you should be doing farmers walks with that superior rom- wait...

>May be autist

I have some bad news user.

>Barbell shrugs rip my dick off
>Dumbell shrugs sometimes smash my dick

I only want one machine to exist and that is a machine for traps.

...

>muscle
>"way too strong"

I don't know where you come from, but go the fuck back there and stay there

Try the calf raise machine I guess, or tuck your dick like a real man

...

Dumbbell
I feel like barbell pulls your shoulders forward too much, or forces you into improper posture to counter that fact
Plus it's a great grip trainer
>tfw holding last rep on last set for 15 seconds then doing farmer's walks

i don't think 10lb dumbbells will give me trap gains

then use bigger dumbbells

you can't tell me what to do fag

fucking kill yourself
