Graduating From Dumb Bells - Freshman In Barbells
Hello Fellow Genetic Freaks!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm currently doing shrugs, 150 pounds, ten sets of ten.
I'm thinking of moving over to Barbells to increase the
weight factor.
How should I have my hands positioned on the bar?
Close, Middle, or, far apart?
Thanks!OMNIFEX

if your looking for definition i'd go with 3 sets of 8-12. if you dont fail somewhere in that range, move the weight up or down accordingly. dont ever cheat by using your arms. try to go slow when doing shrugs, cause the descending motion matters too. dont rush as fast as you can to get more reps, and keep that barbell in your hands.
back for the first time....
