You ain't shrugging if your arms don't hurt! I love going heavy on these. My hands also like it when I stop doing them!

Really? i see a lot of people doing these shurgs, but incorrectly. Theres a hammer streanth plate loaded machine for this but it's basically useless, lots of people do 1/3 squats 1/3 calf raises 1/3 shurgs. And, i see a lot of people rolling i think most people consider rolling your shoulders proper form these days.

sorry, but i have to disagree with you on this one.  i use the hammer strength plate loaded machine, and it's worked wonders for my traps in only a few months.

Haha, mine does this too Cheesy I can control it, though, but then I have to concentrate more on the upper lip than the shrugging ^^

It's easier to keep form with upright rows but for traps and only traps shrugs are better. And, the machine weights are kinda bias, the work to some peoples advantages and lag to some peoples disadvantage. Personally the Hammer Streanth machine for shrugs doesn't really work for me, not much range of motion.
