I think it's because one, shrugs are typically done with bad posture. The heavier you go on them, the worse it gets. I guess you could go really light (with dumbbells) but then would it even benefit...
Thanks for the reply. I do a lot of face pulls so that'll definitely help. I've debated adding wide grip upright rows for mostly side delts and some upper traps but I feel like these may have a...
Thanks. My PT said I could actually lift normally as my posture (slight winged scapula) isn't that bad but they just don't want me training upper traps via shrugs. They just have me doing...
I have to train unbalanced right now to fix my posture. When I started lifting half a decade ago I did a bit more pushing volume than pulling volume. Which probably added up over time. And I don't...
I've always heard and been told that shrugs are horrible for upper body posture as they promote rounded shoulders/hunchback. I'm trying to improve my upper body posture and the only thing my PT told...
Are you referring to all variations of upright rows or just the popular dangerous version of upright rows? From what I've read the wide grip upright row to the nipple area (or even lower) has been...
-Winged scapula
-PT said don't do shrugs (upper trap work)
-Left my previous job and I don't have health insurance for a bit so I can't go back yet
-Think I should drop wide grip upright rows as...
Lateral raises are awesome but they're an isolation and can't be loaded forever
Overhead presses are the popular shoulder compound movement but they primarily hit front delts
What are the benefits/drawbacks of using a seated calf raise machine with an angled foot plate? More/less optimal to work the calves? Better/worse for the ankles? Better/worse for...
Chest in general is easily my best bodypart and has been for almost 4 years. Especially lower from being good at flat bench and powerlifting for a bit.
Anytime I do any barbell overhead pressing (or an incline barbell bench 45 degrees or higher), I have to widen my grip a bit and flare my elbows outwards to avoid wrist tendonitis issues. My elbows...
I've been lifting for 7 years with very structured programming for physique/aesthetic 'show' muscles (and strength as a secondary). Even though I'd consider myself somewhat well rounded, I never sway...
I won't be doing flat bench for years. Hopefully only incline will eventually make things better but it's not looking promising in the short term, lol. It's such a small muscle compared to the pec...
Lol. Yea I never do decline. I've eliminated the flat work (around the start of the year) and only do incline. But it hasn't changed a whole lot. I feel...
