Mastering Dumbbell Shoulder Shrugs: Guide, Form, Flaws, Set Up & Execution

Exercise Advice:

  • Stand with your legs about shoulder width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing in toward your body.
  • Allow the dumbbells to hang at your sides so that your arms are fully extended.
  • To execute this movement, simply shrug your shoulders while keeping your arms completely straight.
  • Be sure that you hold your shoulders in the shrug position for a one-count at the top of the movement.
  • Return to the start position and repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.
