Shoulder Shrugs

1. First keep your back erect, with knees slightly bent, and a shoulder-width stance throughout the entire movement.
   
   
2. Then grasp the Olympic bar using an overhand grip with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
   
   
3. At this point, your barbell is held at straight arm's length with a slight bend in the elbows.
   
   
4. The Olympic bar is resting at a position across your upper thighs.
   
   

• To initiate the exercise movement, lift your shoulders toward the ears and hold for a moment.
  
  
• When the contraction is complete, slowly lower the bar to a point where a comfortable stretch is felt in the working muscles (perform maximum range of motion).
  
  
• Repeat the movement until the desired number of repetitions is completed while keeping the movement fluent, slow, and controlled.
