Dumbbell Decline Shrug

How to do the Dumbbell Decline Shrug

1. Begin by lying chest first on an incline bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended straight down toward the floor, palms facing each other.
2. Allow your shoulders to relax downward, feeling a stretch in your upper traps.
3. Lift your shoulders upward towards your ears, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
4. Inhale and slowly lower your shoulders back down to the starting position.

Form tips

• Avoid using your arms to lift the weights; focus on lifting with your shoulders.
• Concentrate on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
• Ensure your head and neck remain in a neutral position to avoid strain.
