Best way to do shrugs?
Ok, I have been doing shrugs by just raising my shoulders as high as I can, but I know that some people put in a shoulder motion that rolls from back to front when they shrug. I was just wondering if there is any difference and/or which technique is best?
Just Shut Up and LIFT.

Don’t roll your shoulders.
You can pull straight up as you've been doing or lean slightly forward and pull up and back. This can be done pretty effetely on a Smith machine as well as with free weights.
Another variation is lying on an incline bench then pull the bar or dumbbells up and back. You will more than likely have to use less weight in this variation.
MickTo refuse to learn anything that could prove beneficial to yourself is a working definition of stupid!
High-intensity training is going all-out, not almost all out. It is taking one set to one's absolute limit, not almost to the limit. It is using whatever equipment’s available. It is not the words of two or three men, but a commitment to work as hard as possible while in the gym without socializing, resting excessively between sets, or falling prey to the 'this isn't going to work so I'll copy the star' attitude"

Just stick with up and down motion and hold it up there for maybe 3-5 seconds.

I've gotten decent trap gains from static holds. A farmers walk would also work.

up and down motions are what works well for me. I use the straight bar but I try to switch to the dumbells every so often to change it up.
Are you going to eat that?....

I just started doing farmer's walks...they give me a great pump and feel great after I am done. They are also helping my grip strength.
