Instructions:
- 1Stand in front of a cable machine with your feet shoulder width apart
- 2Hold the cable handles, with your arms fully extended, and shoulders relaxed
- 3Shrug your shoulders up towards your ears, keeping arms straight
- 4Hold this position briefly before slowly lowering your shoulders back down
- 5Repeat for the desired amount of reps
Tips:
- Avoid rolling your shoulders, the movement should be straight up and down
- Control the motion, especially during the phase when you lower the shoulders down
- Take your time to really feel the contraction at the top of the move
- Try not to engage your bicep or forearm muscles, focus on your trapezius
