Illustrated tutorial on the shoulder shrug action of the heel raise machine (equipment)!
Action Features: It is a good way to use calf-lifting equipment (standing heel-raising machine) to train the trapezius muscles!
The heel raise machine shrug avoids the inconvenience of traditional dumbbell and barbell shrugs when heavy objects rub against the legs, allowing the trapezius muscles to be more fully exercised.
Target muscles: Trapezoidal muscle.
Synergic muscles: Rhomboids.
Starting position:Adjust the shoulder pads of the calf raise machine to just press on your shoulders. Tighten your core, raise your head and chest, and straighten your back
Action essentials: Stand up straight and hold your hips with your hands. Shrug your shoulders firmly toward your ears. Pause at the top, then slowly resume and repeat.
Key Tips:

2. Try your best to contract at the peak of each movement. And use a heavy enough weight
