Cable Shrugs

beginnerstrengthpullisolation

Instructions

1Grasp a cable bar attachment that is attached to a low pulley with a shoulder width or slightly wider overhand (palms facing down) grip.
2Stand erect close to the pulley with your arms extended in front of you holding the bar. This will be your starting position.
3Lift the bar by elevating the shoulders as high as possible as you exhale. Hold the contraction at the top for a second. Tip: The arms should remain extended at all times. Refrain from using the biceps to help lift the bar. Only the shoulders should be moving up and down.
4Lower the bar back to the original position.
5Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
