Do you find military press also nails your traps?
Can I ask your main reason for doing power shrugs? Mainly to help your deadlift lockout?
I would incorporate shrugs but I would have trouble fitting it into my workout, unless I did them well away from my military press or else I think I'd have trouble pressing the bar. I'm not sure they're even necessary given I'm probably only capable of a 1rm of 75ish kg on MP and 190kg on deadlift.
Good for him.
So one person says don't do deadlifts to build the back.
Yeah im sure his opinion in bodybuilding holds some weight... LOL.
And it would take me a couple minutes to find a heap of BBs that say do deadlifts.

seeing as this is the bodybuilding section.
Charles Glass (inb4 using google to find out who he is) advises against using deadlifts to build the lower back.
The fact that great backs can be built with deadlifts and without deadlifts proves deadlifts are not compulsory to do well at bodybuilding.
You don't HAVE to do anything but deadlifts are most likely going to be beneficial.
Player, as you know there are literally dozens of exercises you can do for the back, deadlifts being just one of them.
Regardless of what some say here, you don't HAVE to do deadlifts to build a strong muscular back.
Sure, if someone competes or wants to compete in a competition to display strength, then of course they'll have no choice but to include deadlifts as it's one of the required lifts but apart from that they are not mandatory for everyone.
If you or anyone else don't do deadlifts for whatever reason then use the miriad of other back exercises at your disposal to achieve the desired results and be assured that there's no need to justify yourself to anyone here, regardless of their blinkered attitude.
hallelujah
good to have you back sir
By the way, I like your new avi
The power shrug does not really help the lockout as much as it does the very start of the deadlift. If you're shrugging 50kg over your max for reps then a weight will feel very light off the floor because your traps are not having to work so hard

Stronger lats/traps = hold starting position better = better lockout
What is the movie?... I recognise it from the guns and roses song
