Personally I avoid squats, deadlifts, and shrugs in my program to avoid bulk and injury through poor form (just my theory). I add cycling up hills for lower back training and hiking with a backpack for additional core strength. Jogging by itself is also a great core exercise.

Um... no. If you run and also lift and eat enough protein/calories, you don't have to be "slim" on top. Just depends on the balance between intake and output and how much mileage you accumulate relative to everything else you're doing.
As for avoiding exercises to avoid bulk... read a bit more around here. It's not easy to bulk up with muscle - in fact it's very challenging. Most people have an easier time bulking up with fat, but muscle is a different issue...
