#2 Barbell Shrug
This exercise is one of the easiest trap workouts that you could do with a barbell. The beginner-level exercise could be performed by people of different age groups and diverse skill levels.
Instructions
Step 1: Stand straight and hold the barbell in both the hands with a pronated grip. The distance between the feet should be approximately equal to the width of the shoulder.
Step 2: Lift the barbell towards the ceiling using only your shoulders. Ensure that you do not gain any advantage with your biceps.
Step 3: Hold the contraction for a moment and return to the initial position.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Do not overload the weight as it could lead to a serious shoulder injury or back injury.
