Açıklama
The Dumbbell Shrug is a classic exercise performed by holding dumbbells at the sides of the body and elevating the shoulders, isolating the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle. Using dumbbells allows each arm to work independently, making it effective for correcting muscle imbalances. It also offers a more natural range of motion compared to the barbell shrug. When performed regularly, it provides significant improvements in trapezius hypertrophy and upper back thickness.
