Dumbbell shrugs


Target: Shoulders, traps

Form tips:

  • Avoid rolling your shoulders back at the top of the shrug – maintain a straight up and down trajectory.
  • Chest up and avoid slouching.

Modification – Barbell shrugs:

  • If the mechanics of this move trip you up, use a barbell to practice the lift with more control.
