Gittleson Shrug Video Exercise Guide

The Gittleson shrug is an advanced variation of the dumbbell shrug used to build bigger trapezius muscles.

The Gittleson shrug emphasizes the contraction of the upper trapezius muscle by isolating the muscle and working them unilaterally. You also get a slightly greater range of motion by performing the Gittleson shrug since you do bring your ear to both shoulders as you perform the exercise.
