    try this i read it in a magazine, Jay Cutler's supposed to use it:

    Dumbell shrug's 4 set's/12-15 rep's

    Dumbell upright row's 4 x 12/15 rep's (try EZ bar upright's as alternative)

    Barbell shrug's 3 x 8/12 rep's (heavy)

    i got good result's from doing it for 6 week's.

    isometric holds with moderate to heavy weight really help. along with heavy deads, heavy bb and db shrugs, and utilize tons of drop sets and tempo sets.

    Try warming up with med/high rep barbell shrugs, then punish them with heavy weighted reps and use straps cause your grip will fail at this point. Check Ronnie Colemans videos, he has insane strength on shrugs.
    Remember, to see results, Push and Push Hard!

    Upright rows help, and also if you have access to a smith machine, behind the back shrugs.

    you might want to wear your steal caps for this one.
    happy lifting
