SHRUG IT OFF

Verdict on A

The athlete pictured here is tucking his chin into his upper chest (neck flexion) while shrugging his shoulders. In this position, the shoulders tend to round forward, placing undue stress on the shoulder joint capsule. Even worse, the flexion of the cervical spine (neck) during this exercise can lead to a neck injury.

Verdict on B

Proper technique is demonstrated when the head is focused forward and the upper chest is held high. Now, the spine is properly aligned, the scapulae are retracted slightly, the shoulders are braced and the upper trapezius will be in perfect position to forcefully elevate the shoulders — building big traps and preventing injury.
