Barbell Back Wide Shrug

Expert Advice

Keep your neck neutral and avoid rolling your shoulders, which can put undue stress on the shoulder joint.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell in front of you with an overhand grip.
  2. Lift your shoulders straight up towards your ears, keeping your arms straight.
  3. Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the shoulders back down.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
