You sure your grip isn't fialing, making it harder?

Tried using straps when you shrug?

i have absolutely no problem with my grip, the weight is just too heavy to do clean reps

How often do you diddy?

After a year, barbell shrugging 2pl8 for 12 clean reps with a 3 second top contraction per rep.

never due to lumbar degeneration

Diddy. I don't know what "lumbar degeneration" is, care to explain?

Right now it sounds like a pretty lame excuse

I've gone up to 110lb dumbbells 10x3 sets. I do them at the end of my shoulder workout, it's the day I have space and lateral raises stimulate your traps slightly as well which I also do on that day. I did them because I feel they help with my deadlift, and with bench being able to press my upper back into the bench. As others have said, holding at the top I found useful. I explode up, hold for half a second and lower down controlled

The problem is my traps fucking exploded and got way too big so I don't do them every trap workout now.

Don't use straps on a grip strengthening exercise.

if you do too much shrugs you'll look like a turtle. You don't have to do any shrugs.

Junkrat captures me in those fuckers all the time.

Hate that cunt.

just fucking superset them into literally any pull exercise sometimes. they're such an accessory that there's no point overthinking it or overdoing it or you'll look like some quasimodo
