What part of the shoulder do dumbell/barbell shrugs work, and are they worth it. Currently I do 4 sets of each on my shoulders day.

Question about Shrugs

This exercise is excellent for working the traps ie the Trapezius

yea, shrugs don't work the shoulders they work the traps, which is part of the back.
Hi AirCartman,
I've only been training for a while, and I do shrugs, too, although I only do 6 sets in total: 3 working sets using barbells and then 3 further sets using the EZ Curl bar with light weights. Shrugs work the trapezius muscle to the greatest extent. I was told that as it is a small muscle, along with the triceps (I do both on the same day), so 6 working sets is enough. I only work each muscle once a week - it has been working for me so far!
