Be sure to NOT role your shoulders when performing shrugs, as this action will put undo strain on your rotator cuffs. Booyah

Excellent tip there.
Too many people in the gym roll their shoulders during shrugs.
If you have any further questions please post in the forums - more eyes will see it and more people will offer guidance.
