    I agree, try doing that lagging side with a DB...and stick to DB's if you're not already doing so.
    The other thing is to find root cause. Are you already doing DB's and lifting asymetrically? Sometimes I catch myself doing that. I'm right handed and I know sometimes I'm going up higher on that side. The other issue is BB vs DB shrugs. When you do BB shrugs (esp on a Smith Machine), it may hide the fact that you're pulling more with one side than the other.

    I do alternating dumbell shrugs towards the end of my set and I feel those more than the actual set itself. I see no problem in hitting one side with a DB toward the end of a workout.
