Cable Shrugs

Cable Traps

The Cable Shrugs is a strength movement that targets your traps. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Cable Shrugs

  1. Set both cables low and stand between the pulleys, gripping a handle in each hand with arms straight.
  2. Stand tall with shoulders down and a neutral spine before you begin.
  3. Shrug straight up as high as possible, holding briefly at the top.
  4. Lower slowly — no rolling the shoulders forward or using your legs to assist.
