How to do it

  1. Load a trap bar and step inside it. Stand up straight holding the handles at your sides with a neutral grip, feet shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.
  2. Keeping your arms straight, raise your shoulders straight up toward your ears as high as you can, exhaling as you lift.
  3. Hold the contraction for a second at the top, avoiding rolling your shoulders.
  4. Slowly lower back to the starting position as you inhale.
  5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
