DAMBBELL SHRUGS EXECUTION

 Grab a set of dumbbells, stand tall, and allow your arms to hang by your sides ( shoulders slightly retracted) with your palms facing each other with a shoulder width apart stance ideally.⁣

 Make sure you’re back, head and neck are in a neutral position while having your elbows/ triceps locked out. ⁣
⁣
Being this is the standing variation make sure your quads and knees are locked in place while keeping your glutes contracted and core tight. ⁣
⁣
 Now that your set-up is good! ⁣

Execute by raising your shoulders toward your ears as high as possible, and then lower the weight back to the starting position in a controlled manner or I like to think of pushing the weight towards the floor. ⁣
⁣
Make sure you don’t let your shoulders take over and roll forward to get superior activation in your traps. ⁣
