ALL they do is shrugs. they’ll come in in a group, crowd the squat rack, load up the bar, goof off, text push each other around do a few sets and leave.
Whoever is selling these newbs on shrugs should be making a fortune.
If I had to pick it up off the ground I doubt I would have got more than 4 or 5 reps.[/quote]
Yeah, and I am not opposed to shrugging in the rack, the idea is that you use the rack when you’re exercising something that you couldn’t pick up off the ground (like squats, shrugs, GMs, etc.). I think Edgy’s complaint is that all the kids do IS shrug. Not like an accessory exercise, but as like, a ME lift.[/quote]
Good point, those shrugs were done after deads.
Don’t slap me edgy.
Oh and, PMPM you better never ever let is slip that I messed up and sent you the wrong pic. And you know what my wife looks like now. It’s our secret.

She’s like, 97 million times hotter than you. Let me know if you get divorced, I will woo her.

Men are strange!
Edgy- I like to pretend I can cook. I hardly ever follow a recipe and make it up as I go. Drives the man insane! And I can’t drink for shit. Maybe if I trained it more.
Why is it that the squat rack is usually packed with teenagers/young adults weighing either 130 or up to 500lbs and ALL they’re doing is shrugs?
Who is selling these newbs on shrugs? I do some DB shrugs, sure, but AFTER I do heavy compound movements and as an accessory movement only.
But these peoples camp out at the squat rack, load up the bar WAY past their abilities and go after it. When what they really need is a solid training program that includes compound exercises, increase thier protein and overall calorie intake and probably define their goals.
I just don’t get it!

Edgy it’s because they want to be like me!
J/k, there are actually only a couple of people in my gym that shrug very much. Most of them do the light set and and talk to there friends and text thing.
Betty, I’ll bet you can cook great, and we will just have to work on the ‘drinking’ thing. with your Irish heritage, I am sure your liver has been updgraded to supergirl status.
The threads stop almost completely around 1-1:30 Left Coast time. All I can assume, is that all you Right coast peoples are heading home from work, picking up the kids, shopping, stuff like that.
and here I am left here to talk to myself. all alone.
That sucks.
Mebbe, ya’all can work on some kinda split schedule, so I can always have someone to converse with during your transition time.
