 As
you prepare your body for barbell shrugs, keep in mind
that you want to breathe evenly throughout the
repetitions with your back straight, shoulders rolled
back and neck relaxed. Do not tighten the neck and keep
your knees slightly bent. Your movements should be slow
and controlled with the feet shoulder length apart. Pick up the barbell and hold it in position at arm's
length; do not lock your elbows. Remember to shrug
upward rather than roll the shoulders back. Preserve
wrist under, so that elbow point out, bending may cause
irritation at the wrist joint.
Simply shrug your shoulders, a very easy movement to be
done 10 to 12 times. The primary muscles activated by
the barbell shrug are the trapezius, or traps, and
rhomboids.

Never Doubt Yourself.
 No
matter what people say, no matter what you may think
sometimes, never doubt yourself. If you believe in
yourself you will succeed far more than you will fail.
He who possesses a quiet kind of faith in his ability to
perform a task already has the task half completed.
Believe in yourself despite setbacks, despite the
seemingly immovable obstacles, despite the cold and
dark, despite the woe and pain, and eventually your
faith will come to fruition, and you will find all those
troubles behind you.
The simplest thing in the world is to give up and say,
"I'm no good", but the more difficult thing is to
believe in self and constructively continue with
life. The greatest error in life is to downgrade
one self. The most horrible tragedies in life have
occurred from a lack of faith in one's own self, one's
own ability, from a belief that one cannot succeed, but
that failure is their sole lot in life.
We have more strength than we believe.
