Shoulder Shrugs - Smith Machine

Set the Smith Machine up so that the bar is locked at about waist level. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Take hold of the bar with your hands shoulder width apart and your palms facing towards you.

Remember to keep good posture throughout the exercise (tummy tight; shoulders back; chest out; chin in) and slowly shrug/raise your shoulders upwards as far as you can and then slowly lower again. Avoid resting in between repetitions or arching your back to aid the movement.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do keep good posture
  • Do breathe out on the way up and in on the way down
  • Do move slowly
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't arch your back
  • Don't select a weight that is too heavy
