Barbell Shrugs Workout



Barbell Shrugs Workout...........


Muscles worked: Trapezius

Spotter Required: No

Minimum Equipment Required: 6ft or 7ft Standard weight barbell with weights

The best equipment to use: 6ft or 7ft Olympic barbell with weights

Warm up: Warm up to perform a rate 15 to 20 reps of the exercise with minimal weight.

How often should this exercise: Shrugs are the best exercise you do in order to increase mass in your trapezius, I bring them with any shoulder training can

When should this exercise: I personally perform the barbell or dumbbell shrugs his shoulders at the end of my training, because the ROM (Range of Motion) is short, ie, minimal energy is used to perform the exercise. can, however, shrugs his shoulders, the shoulder before training to be carried out, so make sure they are not carried out during your shoulder workout (unless you are really setting).

How the exercise: Standing with knees slightly bent to take the pressure on his back, hold the barbell at shoulder width with your palms to face, after you (overhand). Keep your arms happy straight and head up and start at the bar until your trapezius, lift can be achieved by trying to tip to your deltoid touch the ears and hold for ½ second, then lower the weight back to the starting position.

The trick is shrugs ensure that your arms are not sufficient lift, if you bend your arms to the weight you are doing it wrong to find lift. Second, because the ROM is short, you should be able to lift heavier weight (but no longer do). If like me you are struggling with grip then a pair of lifting straps really help you to lift heavier weights.

Mentality: Shoulder shrugs are a relatively easy exercise, the trick shrugs to ensure that your trapezius and does not lift his arms to make, so make sure your arms remain straight throughout the exercise.
