Smith Machine Shrug

How to do it

1. Set the bar in a Smith machine at about mid thigh height. Grip it just outside shoulder width with your palms facing you and unrack it.

2. Stand tall with your arms straight and the bar resting against your thighs. This will be your starting position.

3. Shrug your shoulders straight up toward your ears as high as you can.

4. Hold the squeeze for a count, then lower the bar back down under control.

5. Keep your arms straight and do not roll your shoulders. The movement is straight up and straight down.
