Band Shrug
What is this machine?
Band Shrug on vapailla painoilla tehtävä liike, joka kuormittaa ensisijaisesti Selkälihakset.
The exercise suits a beginner: the range of motion is guided and you can start light.
An exercise with free weights demands more stabiliser muscles and balance than the equivalent machine exercise.

Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Rolling the shoulders forward and back rather than lifting straight up — adds nothing and risks the joint. Bending the elbows during the shrug, turning the move into a partial row. Standing on too narrow a section of band, making the tension uneven across the two arms. Rushing the eccentric and letting the band snap your shoulders down, losing the hardest part of the rep.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Selkälihakset.
