TRAPS
Hammerstrength Shrug
BeginnerMachine
A machine shrug that isolates the traps while the fixed handle path keeps the weight moving in a straight line. That stability lets you push harder or focus on clean form without worrying about balancing the load.
How to do it
- 1
Stand between the handles of the shrug machine set to about knee height.
- 2
Brace your core, hinge your hips back, and grip the handles with palms facing in.
- 3
Stand up straight, lifting the handles with your arms extended.
- 4
With chest up, shoulders back, and a slight elbow bend, raise your shoulders toward your ears.
- 5
Lower the handles back down under control.
