Barbell Shrug, also known as Shoulder Shrug, makes an excellent resistance training exercise to develop and strengthen your trapezius muscles. Perform this exercise at least twice a week to broaden and widen your shoulders.

In order to start this exercise, stand straight with your feet hip-width apart in front of a barbell placed on the rack. Grasp the barbell with arms straight and hands shoulder-width apart. Next step is to elevate your shoulders as high as you can. Slowly lower shoulders to complete one rep. Perform 3 sets, 10-12 reps each. Make sure that you maintain a straight back throughout the movement. It is also important that you control the bar as it descends.

Your resistance training sessions should be followed by the consumption of protein-rich diets such as lean meats, nuts, seeds, cereals and fruits. Protein contains amino acids that help produce creatine. Creatine allows the muscles to exercise longer and harder. Moreover, it discourages the breakdown of protein and promotes the protein synthesis.
