Precautions and Tips for Seated Dumbbell Shrug

Lift the dumbbells using your traps, rather than your biceps.

If you want to make the exercise a little more intense, pause at the top of the seated dumbbell shrug for a count of 3 before lowering your shoulders.

Rolling your shoulders does not add value to the exercise. Just raise the weight straight up and down.
