Seated / Standing Shrug
The Plate Loaded Seated / Standing Shrug by Hammer Strength delivers raw trap-building performance—whether athletes are locked in or standing tall. Built for those who know that upper-body strength isn’t just about pressing or pulling—it’s about how you carry it all. This machine hits the upper traps hard while giving athletes the freedom to load heavy and move with purpose.
Seated or standing, the movement stays locked in and explosive, building the type of strength that shows up on the field, in the ring, or under the bar.

The Shrug—Refined
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all seated shrug machine. It’s a plate loaded workhorse built for athletes who train with purpose. Whether you’re locked in for controlled, seated reps or standing tall to simulate the demands of heavy carries and contact, this machine meets you where your intensity lives. No awkward barbell balancing. No gimmicks. Just pure trap-focused power with an uncompromising build—Hammer style.
Made to Handle High Loads
The side-positioned handles on this Hammer Strength shrug machine aren’t just a design choice — they’re a commitment to better training. Angled and spaced for natural alignment of the traps and shoulders, they help athletes lift heavy without cheating form. That means less stress on the joints and more stress where it counts: the muscle. Pile on the plates. Stay locked in. Hit traps the right way.
