TRAPS
Cable Shrugs
IntermediateCable
A cable-based shrug that builds the traps with steady tension the whole way through the lift. Because the pull comes from a fixed pulley, the tension never drops off at the top the way it can with free weights.
How to do it
- 1
Set both pulleys to the lowest position and take a handle in each hand with an overhand grip.
- 2
Stand centered between the towers, feet about shoulder width, knees slightly bent.
- 3
Drive your shoulders up toward your ears using your traps.
- 4
Pause briefly at the top while keeping tension.
- 5
Lower slowly back down without letting the traps go slack.
