What's this exercise called?

Not sure if this is the right subforum, feel free to move.

 

I saw an exercise one time where somebody had the bar on their back like they were setting up to back squat, but then they did shrugs with the bar directly on their traps.

 

 

Because of my hand injury I think I may add these in instead of normal shrugs, but I have no idea what to call them for logging purposes. I googled "squat shrug" and got pictures of people doing what looked like clean grip front squats.

 

It'd be awesome if anybody could tell me what to call these, and secondarily if anyone had any experience with them that would be fun to hear also.

It's seems to me it's just a shrug, without the grip element (and probably limitation)

I've never heard of them. It would seem like an exceptionally short range of motion since the bar would bottom out with no stretch in the traps. Have you tried using straps?

In another thread I saw what they were calling a Zercher Squat, which I had never heard of, but looking at it I could see a possibility of doing shrugs with it.

 

 

Just food for thought...

Were they coming up on their toes? My first thought was calf raise.

No, just shrugging from a squat position.
