<- tore rotator cuff doing "circular motion" on shrugs couple years ago. I never do shrugs and i have big traps. What i do though is deadlift heavy. When you lock out the deadlift, you use traps tolock out the lift. So if i deadlift 585lb, and i lock it out, my traps are gttin a workout.

Why, then, does everyone who does the rotator cuff suicide way, love to tell everyone who does them straight up and down how wrong we are and how much better it is to do them circularly? Ignorance is a bitch, isn't it.

i fart and my traps grow. i havent done a shoulder workout in about 2 months, an d still have softballs.
shrugs..here is the thing (johny method)... do them 2wice a week, spaced evenly. 3-4 sets at a time. reps 6-8. now here's the thing. the first time place your hands on the bar at shoulder length and shrug normally. the second time you do them that week, use wraps to grab the bar with a palms down (towards you) grip. wrap you hands directly in front of your thighs, so your hands are only around 5-7 inches apart. if you have a bart that has the 2 smooth sections in the middle of it, you should be wrapped on the outer most part of those, so your pinky is on the edge of where it gets rough again.
enjoy the swell.

If you notice the guys that tend to be doing the circular shrugs look like they have never lifted a day in there life. And even if they have they go to the gym, they bench, curl and do shrugs. Oh, and even sometimes they will let you know what good form is, if they think they can help you out.

yeah, people either do them just straight up or circular, whatever they usually prefer, and i definitely prefer just regular straight up shrugs. circular kills your rotator cuffs

i don't think you have to be huge and in great shape to know what ur talking abuot.. i understand what ur saying, just kinda strikes me as odd, because just as u have the fat guy/ skinny guy saying bad advice, you could have a really big guy, that doesn't really know jack either...
im not trying to be rude.. just pointing that out
