How to perform it
- Load the pins to an appropriate weight. Position yourself directly between the handles.
- Grasp the top handles with a comfortable grip, and then lower your hips as you take a breath. Look forward with your head and keep your chest up.
- Drive through the floor with your heels, extending your hips and knees as you rise to a standing position. Keep your arms straight throughout the movement, finishing with your shoulders back. This will be your starting position.
- Raise the weight by shrugging the shoulders towards your ears, moving straight up and down.
- Pause at the top of the motion, and then return the weight to the starting position.
Muscles worked
The Leverage Shrug primarily targets your Traps, with support from your Forearms. You'll need machine.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Leverage 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.
