shrugs how?

arbntmare · 11-12-2005, 06:17 PM

do you guys roll your shoulders with shrug.. or you just straight raise and the lower the weights?

min0 lee · 11-12-2005, 06:18 PM

Straight up..squeeze... hold and repeat.

Rolling is a waste of time.

won't rolling injure something?

**P-funk** · 11-12-2005, 06:46 PM

the trapizeus muscles don't roll the shoulder. they elevate the scapula (upper traps) or they help to retract and depress it (middle/lower traps). if you want to work the muscle perform it using its proper action.

I never roll.

I've heard that rolling can damage the rotator cuffs.

Ditto - rolling is no-no.

I think a slow and clean movement, without rolling, will achieve the desired effect.
