DB Front Trap Raise

Isolate the traps with a unique frontal angle. Ensure you're hitting the target muscle safely.

Instructions

• Stand tall, dumbbells at thighs, palms facing back.
• Shrug shoulders up and slightly forward.
• Raise arms slightly as you shrug (like a high pull).
• Focus on the upper traps contracting.
• Lower slowly.

Common Mistakes

• Bending elbows to curl the weight
• Leaning back
• Jerking the weight
• Rolling shoulders excessively

Benefits

• Upper Traps
• Neck Stability
• Power Look
