Muscle D Seated Standing Shrug - PL-P-SH
The Muscle D Plate Loaded Shrug Machine is intended for seated or standing shoulder shrugs for trap isolation. On the MDP-1032, seated and standing shoulder shrugs use a more natural neutral grip, allowing for a better contraction during each rep and thus better results.
On incredibly smooth pillow block bearings, each arm glides independently, and the non-slip handles aid reduce hand fatigue during heavy or high rep sets. The gas-assist seats quickly and easily adjust to fit all user heights for seated shrugs. Additionally, the 11 gauge tube steel provides a rock strong base for a long lifetime of trap blasting.
