Açıklama
The Behind The Back Shrug is a unique variation performed by holding a barbell behind the body, targeting the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle from a different angle. Unlike the classic shrug, holding the bar behind the back allows the shoulders to be pulled further back. It also improves posture. When performed regularly, it provides significant improvements in trap hypertrophy and postural correction.
