Conseils techniques
Avoid the tendency to use momentum or to jerk the weights up and down. The movement should be controlled and deliberate, going through a full range of motion. This means lifting the weights in a slow, smooth upward shrug, pausing at the top, and then lowering them slowly.
Hold the dumbbells with your palms facing your torso. This grip allows for a natural range of motion and helps to engage the trapezius muscles effectively. Avoid gripping the dumbbells too tightly as it can lead to unnecessary forearm fatigue.
Use a weight that is challenging but manageable. Using too heavy weights can lead to improper form and potential injury
