Kelso Shrug: how to do it and form tips

A chest-supported shrug developed by Paul Kelso that specifically targets the mid and lower traps rather than the upper traps alone.

Form tips

  1. Lie prone on an incline bench with arms hanging down holding dumbbells.
  2. Retract and elevate your shoulder blades — no arm bending.
  3. Hold the contracted position for 2 seconds at the top.
