How to do Shoulder Shrugs – Workout

Nov 15, 2010   //   by Paul Tran   //   Blog  //  2 Comments

Want those Brock Lesnar gigantic shoulder muscles? The classic shoulder shrug exercise is a great beginner exercise to work those trapezius muscles.

Level: Beginner
Muscles: Trapezius
Equipment: Dumbbell Weight

Instructions:
Step 1: Grab a dumbbell weight for both arms and let them hang neutrally by your sides having your palms facing towards your body. You should be standing upright in this exercise.

Step 2: Before you start have your shoulders relaxed and begin by constricting your trapezius muscle as if you were trying to move your shoulder towards your ears. Do not constrict any other muscles such as your forearm or biceps. Try not to bend your elbows.

Step 3: Shrug your shoulders upward until they cannot go any further and slowly release back to starting position and repeat. Another tip is to make sure not to move your head forward during the exercise motion.
