Barbell Shrugs

The shrug exercise is for the trapezius muscles in the upper back. They function to elevate the shoulder blades as well as provide stability to the neck and shoulders. I prefer the barbell motion with athletes to compliment the similar olympic type lifts. For everyone else, the d.b. shrug is a much more functional exercise.
