Primary muscles: Traps
Secondary muscles: Forearms, Shoulders
How to do it
- Begin with a wide grip, with the bar hanging at the mid thigh position. You can use a hook or overhand grip. Your back should be straight and inclined slightly forward.
- Shrug your shoulders towards your ears. While this exercise can usually by loaded with heavier weight than a snatch, avoid overloading to the point that the execution slows down.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Snatch Shrug from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Traps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
