Technik-Tipps
When you perform the shrug, lift your shoulders straight up towards your ears in a smooth and controlled manner. Avoid rolling your shoulders backward or forward, as this can lead to shoulder and neck injuries.
Choose a weight that allows you to perform the exercise correctly. Do not overload the barbell or dumbbells. If the weight is too heavy, you may compromise your form, which can lead to injury.
Ensure you're using a full range of motion. Lift your shoulders as high as you can, hold for a moment, and then lower them back down. This helps to fully engage and strengthen the trapezius muscles.
