While
standing, hold a barbell at arm's length in front
of you, with an overhand grip about shoulder's
width apart.
Simply
raise your shoulders as high as you can and hold
that position for a moment (Shown here). NOTE:
The most common mistake people make when performing
shrugs is rotating their shoulders in a circular
motion while performing the exercise.
THIS IS COMPLETELY INCORRECT AND DANGEROUS.
Focus on simply bringing your shoulders straight
up and down.
