Barbell shrug

Stand up straight and grab the barbell with your palms facing your thighs. Your feet should be at shoulder width and your hands a little wider than shoulder width apart. Now, as you exhale, raise your shoulders up and hold for a second. Now, as you inhale, slowly return to the starting position. You can also do this exercise with the barbell behind your back, on a calf-machine or on a smith machine. For better grip you can use wrist wraps.
