Stand up tall with a straight spine, holding a curved barbell. Hold the inside curved portion of the bar with each hand, so the hands are slightly facing each other. Step 2. Lift the bar directly above the head, straightening the arms completely.
Hold the bar in front of you and keep your arms straight. Your trapezius is a powerful muscle -- bending your arms under the weight you can shrug will strain your biceps tendons. When shrugging a barbell, hold the shrug at the top for a count of one, then lower under control.
