How to do it
- Stand tall with a dumbbell at each side, palms facing your body.
- Keep your arms straight and shrug your shoulders straight up toward your ears.
- Pause briefly at the top, then lower your shoulders slowly all the way down.
- Keep your head neutral and don't roll your shoulders.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
