Jump Shrug

From a hang, extend violently and shrug hard enough to leave the floor; power without the catch.

Jump Shrug, illustrated

How to do it

Setup

BARBELL at the thighs in a hang, hook or double overhand grip, knees soft.

Steps

  1. Dip into the hang.
  2. Extend violently – jump – and SHRUG hard at the top.
  3. Land soft, bar still in the hands; reset.

Common mistakes

Arms bending: the shrug is shoulders-only; arms stay ropes. Soft extension: the jump IS the rep. Heavy bar killing the jump: if the feet stay down, unload.

Breathing

Exhale on the jump.
