Calf Machine Shoulder Shrug

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Step under the calf-raise machine so the shoulder pads rest securely across your upper traps and your feet are flat.
2. 02Stand tall with your knees straight but not locked, arms relaxed, and trunk braced beneath the pads.
3. 03Elevate your shoulders straight upward against the pads without bending your knees or rising onto your toes.
4. 04Pause at the top with your traps contracted and your head in a neutral position.
5. 05Lower your shoulders slowly to the starting position without rolling them or letting the machine drop.
