The dumbbell shoulder shrug can be modified to target both the trapezius and the pectoralis minor effectively. To emphasize the trapezius, perform the shrug with a focus on elevating the shoulders towards the ears, while keeping the elbows straight. To engage the pectoralis minor, you can add a slight forward lean or incorporate a scapular protraction by extending the arms forward during the shrug. This combination helps activate both muscle groups in a single exercise.
