Was in the gym today and had the cable cross over set up all to myself. I was able to grab each side ad set it up for shrugs. I like these as a different option to barbell shrugs, dumbbell shrugs, and smith machine shrugs. I really like the constant tension on the cable both on the positive and negative, as i found you dont need much weight to stimulate and get a real good burn. Anyways, just wanted to share this and if you get a chance and have the cable cross over machine or TRX to yourself at the gym, give it a try. Here is how to do them in case you have never done them.
Attach single handle on both sides of cable attachments.
Lower attachment to the lowest setting on machine, very bottom.
Select a weight you can handle, remember it wont take heavy amounts of weight to start.
Step a foot or two in front, as it will give you a lil more room so you dont bottom out on negative.
Get your shrug on
