Re: How do you \"guys\" do it?
Its important to use a weight which allows you to use correct form, have you checked out the shrugs in the exercise tab at top of page?

Try doing them with light weight at first, and remember to only shrug up and down (dont try to roll your shoulders)

Re: How do you \"guys\" do it?
Lean forward slightly, or have your glutes slighlty back.
I think I understand your problem. You can always use dumbells.

Re: How do you \"guys\" do it?
Practise with just the barbell, once you use to the technique keep adding weight, start with small plates.

Re: How do you \"guys\" do it?
Are you having problems with the bar rubbing against your nether reigons, or just not able to get a contraction of the traps? If one, do as Cronus and chuckd said lean forward just slightly, just keep the weight on your toes. If two try shruging in front of a mirror, with dumbbells. Try to touch your ears with your shoulders, don't rotate your shoulders to the back.
Now thats as clear as mud. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Good luck Vision
