  1. Set up for the seated cable shrug by attaching a V-bar to a low pulley cable machine.  
  2. Select the amount of weight on the stack and sit down facing the machine with your feet about shoulder width apart. You can press your feet against the machine for stability.

  6. Pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for desired reps.
