How to perform it

Move the shoulder through a comfortable range while keeping the elbow and shoulder blade stable when the variation requires it. Control the return phase especially carefully. Keep the same range from repetition to repetition instead of speeding up as you fatigue. Breathe continuously and end the set before technique starts to break down.

Muscles worked

neck and trapezius upper

Tips

Choose a resistance that lets you preserve technique from start to finish. You should feel most of the work in neck and upper trapezius; if you feel sharp pain, joint pinching or a clear loss of control, reduce the load or range and stop if symptoms persist.
