Triceps and shrugs...

[big in vegas]

Does anyone else start to feel their triceps getting a burn from doing high reps for shrugs? It doesn't matter if I do DB or barbell shrugs, when I get in a groove and start repping them out, I start to get a burn in my triceps. Not sure why, but thought I can't be the only one

shrugs are one of my fav things to do and I never feel burning in my tris from em

Maybe just using too much weight I guess. I know I'm definitely not doing the movement wrong because I have the same form whether it's 50# DB or 110# DB. I guess it might be because I never use straps and it could be from my grip beginning to fail towards the end and I really start squeezing everything in my arm to hold on

yeah I see the same results staying with dbs under 100s as I do with going much higher, so to keep your spine safe dont go too heavy anyways

I only go up for one set of 100 or more. I stay light on DB for the most part and only really go up to 315 on barbell

Sounds like your arms are too straight.

Very well could be, never thought of that, but thinking about it, they normally are straight down

My arms always just have a very slight bend in them and it doesnt happen to me, they should be pretty straight

yup

arms too straight and a tight grip on the dumbells will make you contract your tail of the tricep... try to just grip with 4 fingers and take the thumb out
