Summary: Kelso's "Shrug" rules!
Comment: I bought this book after reading the review below and found that it was right on. I wanted to share it with anyone out there interested in real gains. This book WORKS! Read on...
From Powerlifting USA, October 2002.
... Paul Kelso has ... finally ... updated his original book on shrugs, a revamp so comprehensive that the new version is actually 75% longer! He not only added a lot of material, but rewrote much as well, cutting out some stuff he no longer believes in and actually adding two new chapters, including one on bench pressing that demands your attention. He has also codified his philosophy into what may evermore be known as "Kelso's
Shrug Laws."
This is not just an exhaustive treatise on an relatively under-utilized body of training movements: it is an effort to really think through the exercise and develop every conceivable practical application for it. After reading the book, I was struck by the depth of Paul's historical investigation of the exercise (he carefully and consistently notes that he did not "invent" much when it comes to the shrug ... but he sure has organized virtually all
that has ever been known about it), as well as the way he places this exercise into its proper context within physical culture.
Paul has a reverence for strength that underlies all he writes, and he's a terrific yarn teller to boot. If you never do a shrug, you will still be the better for reading this book, because in the telling of the tale of the shrug, you will indirectly come to understanding of the essence of why men and women lift weights in the first place.
As I said, the chapter on the shrug and the bench press will merit your consideration ... recent devotee Collin Rhodes put 44 lbs on his already accomplished bench press in just one year, using shrug principles - like the "lateral" arch.
Paul Kelso is a great guy and has written a great book. -- Mike Lambert

Summary: Kelso's Shrug Book
Comment: This was the first book by Paul Kelso that I had ever read; however, I had seen his fine writing in many of the "iron game" magazines and liked his style. Paul takes an approach to an exercise called the "shrug" to a new level. It was absolutely amazing how performing such a simple exercise with high intensity can add pounds to all your lifts. Paul's book is a must read; especially if you have lost your motivation in the gym or you think you have peaked on your lifts. This book will inspire you and you will hit new goals. Great, simple read!
