Why 2 sets of shrugs? I would strongly consider utilizing deadlifts and face pulls rather than shrugs for trap development. I realize you're recovering from a back injury - but DL's are
the best compound lift out there for overall development and shouldn't be neglected. If you start light, focus on form, and listen to your body, I can't see why you can't do them. I know people who broke their back and pull multiple times their body weight. It can be done. That much shrugging is begging for a shoulder issue.

Drop this. Immediately. If not sooner. If not, Chuck Norris will come to your house and kick your ass.
Seriously, it's an awkward position for your arm and shoulder to be in, and you're trying to move weight with it - it's a wide open door for injury. Try using a reverse grip bench or do dips again instead. Your shoulders will thank you.

See previous comments about shrugs...I hate them and find them worthless, and there's better exercises to use.

Then why did you post this routine?
