A shovel with a spade blade, a mattock, a six-foot length of chain, a come-along, a wheel rim from an automobile and something to cut the roots of the shrub once exposed will do the trick. Cut back the shrub branches so they are not in your way. Start a circle with your shovel about a foot out from the bush and start removing the dirt around the roots with the shovel and mattock. Eventually you can slip the chain through the roots and use the come-along to start pulling the shrub. Place the wheel rim right next to the shrub and thread the chain through the roots, and wrap it around the base of the bush and over the wheel so that as you employ the come-along the bush is pulled upward over the wheel instead of horizontally. Cut the roots as needed to remove the bulk of the plant. This has worked for me, though it can be a real workout.

How do you remove a shrub?

What kind of shrub? How large is it? Cut it down - all the branches - as close as possible to ground level, then dig out the remainder - as much as you have energy for! Keep an eye out for suckers that may arise from roots left in the ground. If you must, use an herbicide on the remaining roots, on the cut edges, so it can be drawn into the plant. Dig around the roots first and use the body of the shrub as a lever to loosen the rootball . It makes it a lot easier.
