Cable Shrug - How to Do, Proper Form, Tips & Alternatives

Doing the Cable Shrug right? Let your AI coach fix your form and build it into a plan made for you.

Cable shrugs are great for strengthening your upper back and traps. Lifting your shoulder blades targets your traps and helps improve your posture.

1. Stand in front of the cable machine and grab the handles with both hands.

2. Spread your feet shoulder-width apart and let your arms hang naturally down.

3. Keep your upper body straight and maintain a stable center of gravity.

1. Slowly lift both shoulders towards your ears while contracting your trapezius muscles.

2. Keep your arms and elbows in a fixed position.

3. Slowly lower your shoulders to relax the muscles.

Exhale when you raise your shoulders, and inhale when you lower them.

1. Avoid excessively heavy weights as they can put strain on your shoulder joints and neck.

2. Engage your abdominal muscles to prevent your lower back from arching excessively.

3. If you feel discomfort in your neck, stop exercising immediately.
