How Paul Kelso Stumbled upon the Shrug Exercise

In the late 1960s, tall, lanky, big-boned Paul Kelso was finishing up a training session when a miracle occurred. He carelessly bent over to move a loaded bar out of the way, heaving it aside, when he felt a response in his lower traps that year's worth of power cleans and bent-over rows hadn't touched. Curious, he picked up the bar in a bent-over rowing position and shrugged it again with the same response. Kelso dedicated the rest of the training session shrugging with various grips and hand widths, experimenting with which ones worked for different muscle groups. At the end of the day, the now-famous Kelso Shrug System was born

It is essential to grasp the principle that a Kelso Shrug is not a magical, single exercise. But rather a natural principle based on the natural adduction and retraction of the scapula and other ranges of movements involving the entire shoulder girdle. Paul Kelso's techniques utilize the natural mobility of the shoulder girdle to build a foundation for heavy lifting and isolate specific muscle groups as an adjunct to regular training.
