Cable Shrug
Expert Advice
Keep your arms straight and focus on using your traps to lift the weight, avoiding rolling your shoulders.
How-to-do Steps
- Attach a straight bar to a low pulley cable machine and select the desired weight.
- Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grasp the bar with both hands using an overhand grip, hands just outside your thighs.
- Keeping your arms straight, shrug your shoulders straight up towards your ears.
- Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your shoulders back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
