How To Do Barbell Shrug Workouts
- Stand up straight with your feet at shoulder width as you hold a barbell with both hands behind your back using a pronated grip (palms facing back).
Tip: Your hands should be a little wider than shoulder width apart. You can use wrist wraps for this exercise for better grip. This will be your starting position. - Raise your shoulders up as far as you can go as you breathe out and hold the contraction for a second.
Tip: Refrain from trying to lift the barbell by using your biceps. The arms should remain stretched out at all times.
- Slowly return to the starting position as you breathe in.
- Repeat(3 sets of 12 reps)
