Machine Shrug — demonstration
Traps

PrimarySecondaryNot worked

This movement mainly trains traps, and also recruits Rear delts, Lats.

What the movement loads

The machine holds the load on a track: grip and balance stop being the limit, and the trap can work to failure without the hands deciding when to stop.

How to load it

Twelve to twenty reps. The right place to pile up volume late in a session, once pulling has already taxed the grip.

The recurring mistake

Using the platform to launch the load with a leg drive. A machine hides that better than a free bar does: you have to check it yourself.
