Barbell Shrug Behing the Back
This is an excellent exercise for your traps, and I like it very much because I don´t need a heavy weight to feel the burn.
Stand up straight with your feet at shoulder width as you hold a barbell with both hands behind your back with palms facing back. Your hands should be a little wider than shoulder width apart.
Exhale as you raise your shoulders up as far as you can go. Hold there for a second.
Inhale and return to the starting position.
Repeat.
NOTICE: Do not lift the barbell by using your biceps. The arms should remain stretched out at all times.
Chape!
Happy Tuesday to you!
I have seen this exercise performed before on YouTube, I have done barbell shrugs (and I like them) but have never done them behind the back before. The tip at the end was very helpful, I will be giving this exercise a try the next time I am at the gym. Thank you

As long as you don’t make anyone else aware, I am okay with that! lol
Hahahaha! Last time I mention it ;)
Made famous by the great Lee Haney. I rarely do shrugs these days since I feel over development can take away from your width and become more activated during back and shoulder exercises making the targeted muscle work less.
