Barbell Shrug

How to do it

1. 1

   The barbell shrug targets the trapezius muscles. Barbell shrug is the key exercise for building trapezius strength because it fully engages the upper-back muscle fibers.

2. 2

   When your trapezius is strong and firm, it helps support the neck by keeping the head from drifting forward and helps you maintain an upright posture.
