What is the Smith Machine Shrugs Behind The Back?

The Smith machine shrugs are a staple exercise for building mass and strength in the trapezius muscles. Often performed at the end of a workout for maximum pump, they are suitable for all levels due to the stability provided by the Smith machine. This exercise primarily strengthens the trapezius but also engages the deltoid muscles and upper back. Use a controllable weight to avoid compensation and maximize muscle activation.

How to properly perform the Smith Machine Shrugs Behind The Back

  1. Stand facing the Smith machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, hands placed behind your thighs.
  3. Keep your arms straight as you shrug your shoulders upward, squeezing your traps at the top of the movement.
  4. Hold the contraction briefly, then lower your shoulders back down.
  5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
