Exercise Description

Barbell Jump Shrug gives your entire body power and builds size and strength through the upper back and legs. Jump shrug primarily targets the traps and, to a lesser degree, also targets the quads, calves, glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders.

Exercise Instructions

    Explode by taking your feet off the floor as you shrug and lift the bar as high as you can before returning to the starting position.
