      When i am shrugging i have a tendancy to lift my elbows a little, and my feet come off my heals. Is this improper when doing shrugs?

      if you sit on a incline bench, it will help you from NOT doing what you said you do. When I do traps, I use the bench so that I don't lift my elbows. IMO it is improper to lift your elbows, try this and see.

      I flex my tris while I shrug this locks my arms straight. Going up on your toes is just helping the weight go up, put something, (like a 25lb plate under each heel), before your set.

      Just let your arms hang. Imagine that you don't have arms, just hands connected to shoulders. Lift with your traps.
