Smith Wide Shrug
Stand facing a Smith machine and grasp the bar with an overhand grip, positioning it across your upper chest or traps. Keep your arms straight and shoulders relaxed. Lift your shoulders straight up toward your ears by contracting your trapezius muscles, pause briefly at the top, then lower with control back to the start position. Focus on lifting the shoulders directly upward without rolling them.
