Kettlebell Shrug

What is this machine?

Kahvakuulan olkojen kohautus 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.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Rolling the shoulders forward and back instead of lifting straight up, which stresses the joint. Bending the elbows to pull with the biceps instead of isolating the traps. Jutting the chin forward at the top of the shrug, which loads the neck. Cutting the range short by barely lifting the shoulders, leaving most of the trap work undone.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Selkälihakset.
