Dumbbell Shrugs

Jason Da Bodiful · 08-05-2001, 02:26 AM

Are Dumbbell Shrugs working more on a person's shoulders/traps or his back? I mean the one where you have 2 dumbbells facing each other, and than you lift your shoulders as high as possible (trying to reach the ears).

they are designed to work the traps, but the dumbells should face your legs while at shoulder width apart.

Shrugs Rule!!!

Nothing makes a louder statement than traps that roll around your neck like two pythons fighting under your t-shirt.
