Calf-Machine Shoulder Shrug

Strengthen your traps using a machine-based variation.

This variation allows you to safely load and isolate the traps without using your hands or grip.

Instructions

  1. Position yourself under the shoulder pads of the calf raise machine with arms relaxed at your sides.
  2. Stand upright and raise your shoulders toward your ears.
  3. Hold the contraction at the top, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
