Feeling biceps in DB shrugs

[AusTrancer]

So today I did traps on my back/bi day (usually do them with legs/delts). I did my DB shrugs before my bicep work and got a fairly good pump in my bi's from doing the shrugs and then couldn't do my usual reps for EZ bar curls.

Does this mean i'm doing shrugs wrong? Should i not feel it in my biceps at all?

Was thinking maybe i've got too much of a bend in my arms when doing the shrugs.

Possibly the arms are bent a bit. I always keep elbows in and arms as straight as I can so I don't feel it hardly if at all in my biceps. A
So having your shoulders back a lil helps, not hunching forward or having shoulders forward helps.

shouldn't be any bend. maybe check your grip?

Aiight i'll try keeping straighter arms and shoulders back more.

As for grip, i always find that it fails me after the first set or 2 and i hold the DB's pretty awkwardly. This might have something to do with it also?
