Dumbbell Unilateral Scapula Raise

Expert Advice

Focus on isolating the scapula movement without shrugging your shoulders to effectively target the traps.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in one hand at your side.
  2. Keeping your arm straight, raise the dumbbell laterally by retracting your scapula without bending the elbow or shrugging your shoulder.
  3. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
  4. Perform the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.
