Squat down to grab a barbell or pre-weighted bar with both hands (don't hunch your back) and stand up with your elbows and knees slightly bent (not locked out). Stand up and have the bar resting in front of you. Tighten your abs and glutes to help keep your body stationary throughout the exercise. Inhale. Keeping the rest of your body stationary, and a slight bend in your elbows, raise your shoulders straight up as high as you can. Pause and exhale and squeeze your trapezius muscles. Then lower your shoulders back to their normal position and repeat for reps. When doing this exercise don't curl your shoulders around in a circular motion. Just go straight up and down. |
