How to perform it
- Begin with a shoulder width, double overhand or hook grip, with the bar hanging at the mid thigh position. Your back should be straight and inclined slightly forward.
- Shrug your shoulders towards your ears. While this exercise can usually by loaded with heavier weight than a clean, avoid overloading to the point that the execution slows down.
Muscles worked
The Clean Shrug primarily targets your Traps, with support from your Forearms, Shoulders. You'll need barbell.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Clean Shrug slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
