Is one better than the other?
The traps are hit more directly by sticking your chest out when performing shrugs vs. slumping or leaning forward like the majority of people do.Wait, tiny derail, if I may. Can someone take a sec to explain proper technique for shrugs? I've gotten conflicting info.
Thanks
Both are great exercises.Also behind the back shrugs.Is one better than the other?
True...didn't think of that. Replaced it with a diff (although not as cool) pic.might be one of the dumb rules they have or a possible copyright thing

Oh man...that's crazy. They DEFINITELY tax me way harder than any other lift I do. I'm a sweaty, exhausted mess after doing hang cleans.Power cleans wipe me out faster than squats...I tried doing 20 rep power cleans. I almost passed out at the end. I enjoy doing this stuff to myself...I think I might be drain bamaged.
word bro power cleans made my traps hugeI remember years ago when I followed a Bodybuilder style of training (Lots of Isolation exercises), then moved to Powerlifting...
Shrugs never did anything for me. Infact, I saw way more growth (muscle and strength) powerlifting. I havent done a Bicep curl in probably a year, and my arms are the biggest they've been, all from compound lifts, bodyweight exercises, and a lot of hanging, and static holds (dip bars).
When I powerlifted, my traps got HUGE from upright rows. They are now bigger from Oly lifts.
