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.
