Schritt für Schritt
So geht’s
- Lift the barbell over your head by extending your arms fully, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart and maintaining a slight bend in your knees to protect your lower back.
- Once the barbell is overhead, raise your shoulders as high as you can, trying to touch your ears with your shoulders, while keeping your arms extended.
- Hold the shrug at the top for a moment, then slowly lower your shoulders back down to the starting position.
- Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep the barbell stable and overhead throughout the exercise.

Coaching-Hinweise
Technik-Tipps
Avoid quick, jerky movements. Instead, perform the exercise with slow, controlled movements. Shrug your shoulders as high as possible, hold for a second, then lower them back down. This ensures that your muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise.
Don't lift a weight that's too heavy for you. This is a common mistake that can lead to injury. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase it as your strength improves. If you're struggling to maintain proper form, the weight is probably too heavy.
Avoid straining your neck during this exercise
