Deadlift with Shoulder Shrug

How to Do It

1. Stand with feet about hip distance apart holding weights in each hand, palms facing towards your body.
2. Slowly tip forward from the hips and lower your upper body towards the floor, keeping back flat, knees slightly bent and dumbbells close to the body.
3. Go as low as you can without losing form and then, tightening through the glutes and hamstrings, slowly raise upper body back up until you're at a 45 degree angle.
4. Still at a slight angle, shrug the shoulders up towards the ears. Lower the shoulders and repeat, alternating deadlifts and shrugs for 1 to 3 sets of 12-16 repetitions, with a 20-30 second rest between sets.
