The parallel bars shrugs workout primarily targets the upper back muscles.

In this workout, the parallel bars are used as a tool to perform shrugs, focusing on the upper back.

While the parallel bars may engage secondary muscles, the main emphasis is on developing a strong upper back.

Stand between the parallel bars with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Grasp the parallel bars with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Keep your arms straight and your shoulders relaxed.
Shrug your shoulders up towards your ears, lifting your body as high as possible.
Hold the contraction at the top for a brief moment.
Lower your shoulders back down to the starting position.

Start with a shoulder-width grip on the parallel bars, keeping your feet off the ground.
Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise to maximize upper back activation.
Initiate the movement by shrugging your shoulders up towards your ears, focusing on squeezing your upper back muscles.
Avoid using momentum or swinging your body during the exercise, as this reduces the effectiveness of the movement.
Hold the shrug at the top for a brief pause, emphasizing the contraction in your upper back.
Lower your shoulders back down in a controlled manner, maintaining tension in your upper back muscles.
