Do you prefer barbell or dumbell shrugs? Does it make any difference?

>>40957877
Trap bar is best.

>>40957877
>Does it make any difference?
*shrugs*

>>40957877
shrugs are dumb

>>40957877
>>40957996

I don't prefer either right now because I just tore a trap muscle 30mins ago while doing Dbell shrugs.

>how can I avoid this in the future?

Dumbell will have uneven form.

>Muscle grows back stronger

>>40957975
heh.

>>40957877
Super-set.

I do something I call the trap dance. What you do is grab some dumbells you can't do anything with. (For me it's two 80lb dumbells) and walk around the room until you almost fucking can't safely. That's all I do for traps. May be autist

I unironically stand in front of a preacher curl machine (Hammer Strength), and pull up on the handles. It looks weird, but it works, and hits the traps at a great angle.

>Innovation.

>>40958081
Those are called farmers walks

Barbell shrugs allow for more absolute weight but DBs feel better. Either way all about that P O W

I do rack pulls

>>40957877
I prefer not to do them because any heavy back movement involves the traps and I'd rather not waste time doing an accessory that doesn't have a benefit

>>40958009
If you could tore it was weak and you are better off without it.
Muscle evolution baby!

i do farmers walks

shrugs are one of those "game changer" moves
but you have to come to that realisation on your own, and in your own time

>tfw no "secret" board for /fitlit/ accessible by typing /fitlit/ onto the end of the 4chan url where it just collates all the threads on both boards

is thread ded? I just want to know how /fit/ feels about facepulls for traps. Like, how is it compared to shrugs?

>>40958574
Their called trap dances. Fucking normies.

Shugs are probably one of the worst exercises you can do. It's an isolation exercise with a very limited ROM on the muscle it works.

>>40957877
barbell, because we don't have 200lbs dumbells

>>40959943
So what do you sugest to do to work that muscle?

>>40957877
If you are not shrugging more than you deadlift, then you are wasting your time. Therefore dumbbell shrugs are retarded simply because you can't get heavy enough dumbbells.

>>40957947
Also this, although I would say a hex bar is slightly better because the raised handles make it easier to lift (unless your trap bar has raised handles too).

this is all you need. Shrugs are dumb and bad for your neck.

>>40958081
The best way to feel my traps is actually doing shrugs with big ass gasoline type cans, I usually do like 15 and then without dropping them I do a farmer walk till I feel like dying. cans kinda feel better in my hands than dumbells

>>40959943
Right, you should be doing farmers walks with that superior rom- wait...

Dumbbell
I feel like barbell pulls your shoulders forward too much, or forces you into improper posture to counter that fact
Plus it's a great grip trainer

>>40959702
i don't think 10lb dumbbells will give me trap gains
