proper shrug form? chin tucked against chest? or head up eyes straight?

Head up eyes straight for me and slow form and hold at the top of the motion to feel the burn

ok cool. thats how i do them also, but i find my chin going down somtimes and it feels like it hits a differnt part of the trap. i could be psyching myself out completely but is ther a "correct" way? is one worse for your spine? if so i would imagine having your chin tucked might be it but i dont know. thanks for the input though Damien!

To me tucking the chin in would put additional stress on the spine. I do eyes straight ahead.

Try doing behind the back barbell shrugs and hold at the top and squeez.
I swear this got my traps f****** huge.

I always put my chin down. But I dont think that was the proper form.

I have tried to do behind the back barbell shrugs but my ghetto booty always gets in the way. How do you get around this?

Use smith machine and you wont have that problem .

Don't need a ton of weight .

My junk is at same height as Ghetto booty . I would rather hurt the rear bumper and not the grill .

behind the back i've always heard referred to as "Haney shrugs"...after Lee Haney...he always said "ur traps are behind you, thats where the bar should be"

I switch it up..but i do my shrugs with dumbbells mainly...take it slow to the top and focus on ur traps the whole way up, pause.. and then slowly lower....back straight, eyes straight ahead

do them on the Smith Machine step a bit backward and lean forward... kind of stretch your arms backward as you pull up with your shoulders...

Might have to use a little less weight but the squeeze at the top is an awesome pump
