Cable Shrug
Shrug the shoulders straight up against the low pulley; arms stay straight.
How to do it
Setup
Face the low pulley, bar or handles in both hands, arms long.
Steps
- Shrug straight up against the cable.
- Pause at the top.
- Lower into a long stretch.
Common mistakes
Elbows bending: arms are cables too. Leaning back: the pull is vertical; stand tall. Cutting the stretch: the low pulley loads it; use it.
Breathing
Exhale on the shrug, inhale lowering.
