Leverage Shrug

How to do the Leverage Shrug

1. 1

   Load the pins to an appropriate weight. Position yourself directly between the handles.

2. 2

   Grasp the top handles with a comfortable grip, and then lower your hips as you take a breath. Look forward with your head and keep your chest up.

3. 3

   Drive through the floor with your heels, extending your hips and knees as you rise to a standing position. Keep your arms straight throughout the movement, finishing with your shoulders back. This will be your starting position.

4. 4

   Raise the weight by shrugging the shoulders towards your ears, moving straight up and down.

5. 5

   Pause at the top of the motion, and then return the weight to the starting position.
