2023-06-14, #1 - Shoulder Shrugs using Shrug Bar (90 pounds for 16 reps)
This is the first of 17 photos taken during my early-evening bodybuilding workout of Wednesday, 14 June 2023. I'm posting all 17 photos, which together form a photo session titled "Wednesday Bodybuilding Workout in Athlio Sky Blue Tights".
Shoulder Shrugs, often simply called Shrugs, primarily work the Deltoids, as well as the Trapezius and Forearms muscles.
As you can see from this and several of these photos, I'm also wearing a white sheer nylon athletic undershirt (made by Ron Serfass of BuffedBod.com), white New Balance athletic shoes, white nylon sheer socks, ... as well as a white mesh thong (made by Daddy Underwear) under my tights. More about that thong later, in Photo #12 of this series.
Oh, about the Shrug Bar: If you're unfamiliar with it, instead of being a straight-line barbell that limits the range of motion due to it only being able to be lowered at an angle from your body, the Shrug Bar is constructed as a hexagonal frame that allows you to stand inside the hexagon and take a parallel grip on the bar's parallel handles inside the hexagon. This allows for lowering the bar in a straight line. The Shrug Bar is especially useful and recommended by many professional weightlifters for performing Parallel Grip Deadlifts, which I perform on Mondays.
