Snatch Shrug
The Snatch Shrug is a olympic weightlifting movement that targets your traps. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Snatch Shrug
- Hold the bar in a wide snatch grip at hip height, standing tall with knees soft.
- Shrug powerfully straight up, driving your traps toward your ears without bending the elbows.
- Hold the peak contraction briefly, then lower the bar under control.
- Think vertical force — no rolling the shoulders forward or backward.
