Muscle outlines from Body Muscles by Ivan Vulović, Apache 2.0 — regrouped and recoloured for Muscle Train.
Begin by gripping the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width, and lifting it from the rack. Elevate your shoulders upward as far as possible, squeezing your upper traps, and then control the descent back to the initial position. Keep your arms straight throughout to effectively target the trapezius muscles.
Secure a strong grip to avoid early fatigue. Prioritize a complete range of motion and a noticeable muscle squeeze at the top. Maintain straight arms to isolate the upper traps. Activate your core for improved stability. Ensure comfortable foot placement for balance.
