Trap-Bar Shrug
Hex Bar Shrug · Trap Bar Shoulder Shrug
Trap bar Free weights

The trap-bar shrug centers the load around the body inside a hex bar, which balances the weight over the midline and lets you handle very heavy loads comfortably. Stand inside the bar with a neutral grip on the handles, brace tall, and lift the shoulders straight up toward the ears. The neutral, centered handles keep the bar off the thighs and make this a strong choice for heavy trap overload with minimal wrist or shoulder strain.
