shoulder shrugs
Noncommittal body language
Shoulder shrugs are a weightlifting exercise targeting the trapezius muscles, performed by raising the shoulders toward the ears while holding weights, then lowering them: I do shoulder shrugs with dumbbells to build my traps.
The movement mimics the everyday gesture of shrugging but under load.
