Dumbbell Forward Leaning Shrug

Sit on the edge of a flat exercise bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms fully extended downward.

Hinge forward slightly at your hips, bringing your torso over your thighs while keeping your back straight and head neutral.

Inhale and lift your shoulders straight up toward your ears as high as possible, focusing on squeezing your upper traps.

Hold the peak contraction briefly at the top of the movement.

Exhale as you slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled motion.
