TRAPS
Smith Machine Shrug
BeginnerBarbellMachine
A shrug performed on the Smith machine, where the guided bar keeps the movement locked to a vertical path. That stability makes it easy to concentrate on squeezing the traps rather than steadying the bar.
How to do it
- 1
Stand tall with feet shoulder width and the bar set at about mid-thigh height.
- 2
Grip the bar shoulder width with straight arms by softening your knees and hips.
- 3
Unhook the bar and brace your core to hold a neutral spine.
- 4
Chest up and shoulders back, raise your shoulders toward your ears.
- 5
Lower the bar and your shoulders back to the start.
