PURPOSE OF EXERCISE: To develop the
trapezius muscles.
This exercise can be done extremely
heavy to thicken the traps, which really
helps you in doing back poses.
EXECUTION: Stand upright, arms at sides,
a heavy dumbbell in each hand. Raise
your shoulders up as high as you can, as
if trying to touch them to your ears. Hold
at the top for a moment, then release and
return to the starting position. Try not to
move anything but your shoulders.
