I just walk up and grab the bar, then shrug. Whatever grip feels natural to me.

It all depends on what works best for you and the level of your development today..I used to like them close but now I feel and see them working better wide. But overall I prefer dumbell shrugs very very heavy and low reps . Whatever works for you bro but sometimes it takes a while to find out exactly what that is so try all grips and dumbells .

I love dumbell shrugs and barbell anyway I do em. I don't shrug as often as I would like, but deadlifts I think can help with trap mass and I don't miss a session of deads each week. I'm crazy like that, hahaha.

 

[murf23]

^^^ Yes forgot to metion that . Good point. Deads are crucial to trap development .

Throw in cable shrugs for some serious pump and break down.

I like behind the back shrugs.They hit hard and i also like high pulley rows for more of the middle traps and posterior delts

 

[fitnessallday]

The same grip as my conventional deads.

 

[Lang]

Here too.

 

[SloppyJ]

The same grip as my conventional deads.

I've also noticed that different neck postions work better for me.

pretend you're getting ready to lift a car. This would probably be the place that would be more natural for you.

 

[trapzilla]

Normally about shoulder width, but sometimes I use a snatch grip.

 

[CaptainNapalm]

both give the same results. Do whatever is more comfortable for you

I used to love barbell shrugs shoulder width grip with really heavy weight. Now that my back isn't so great I use dumbells and am liking it a lot more. Things change man.

I think shoulder width is just easier for grip. Too wide and I slip more.
