What Are Dumbbell Shrugs?
Dumbbell shrugs are one of many specific kinds of shoulder exercises that participants can do using single hand free weights, called dumbbells. Many different hand held dumbbell exercises target different muscle groups for different functions in a free weight training schedule. Dumbbell shrugs target some of the chest muscles and shoulders. In a dumbbell shrug, the trainer stands with feet placed close together. The arms holding the dumbbell weights hang down naturally. The trainer raises the shoulders, then lowers them again. This is the full extent of a normal dumbbell shrug. It is a simple exercise with a very specific muscle target.
