Barbell Shrugs – Back Exercise
Main Muscle Worked: Upper Back
Other Muscles Worked: traps
Equipment:barbell
Mechanics Type:compound
Position the bar on the power rack so that you can easily un-rack it into the starting position. Grip the bar with your palms facing in, slightly narrower than shoulder-width. Place your feet about shoulder-width apart and fully extend your arms. Keeping your abs and lower back tight, shrug the weight up towards your ears as high as you possibly can. Squeeze your traps at the top of the movement, pause briefly, and then lower the bar back into the starting position.

This is a good supplementary exercise to any of the barbell or dumbell chest exercises. This exercise works very good in high rep format from 20 and above for a good pump.
