do it on the smith machine and lean forward liek you would fall over if you werent holding onto that bar. this has helped me a lot.

At my gym there is a bar that is curved in the middle, looks like this: -------\_____/-------- It works perfectly for behind the back shrugs.

Behind-the-Back DB Shrugs allow the user to avoid the glutes.

I do them in front, but then you gotta slide it across your you know what. So when I occasionally do shrugs behind the back I 'll use the smith or if there's no smith you can go to a sqat rack (the box type) and slide it across the bars. Just pick it up and pull it towards the bars while leaning forward.

i cant do shrugs on the smith machine, bar is to slippery and i cant turn the bar to rack it when its got a fat load of weight on it!

Unrack the bar...and lower it to the pins...when you finish your set you can lower back to the pins and adjust the weight...eliminates having to turn the bar to unrack it at the start of each set.
The slippery factor can be negated by simply:
using straps; chalk; or sponge... I often use sponge (like the kind that's on the inside of cushions) to reinforce my grip when i dead lift; chin; curl etc.

I vary between Dumbell shrugs; and behind-the-back shrugs
I supplement my trap routine with deadlifts; hang-cleans; power-cleans and snatches

1" thick.
You could possibly find sponge in a craft store also.
