They look like they use the same motion. Does it have anything to do with the grip on the barbell for the "Clean Shrug"?-See Less

I start high and just continue to drop weight until I burnout, But I will say you may want to choose a day to start with this cause for me it also requires some forearm strength and if your forearms are bunt out, then it will be difficult to hold heavy dumbbells...+See More I love this, get a nice burn in my traps.

Aug 8, 2013 5:32 PM: Great way to do DB Shrugs I find is by starting with a weight that you can just manage to get 10reps out, drop 10kg and do another 10reps, drop 10kg again and do 10 last reps, thats 1 sets. Repeat for 3/4 sets and your traps should be burning.
