Hip Hugger
About
This exercise works both your delts and upper traps to define your shoulders and upper chest.
How to Hip Hugger
Starting Position
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
2. Grip the dumbbells comfortably with your palms facing forward or towards each other.
Proper Form
1. Bend your elbows and lift the dumbbell towards your chest, bringing it up as if wrapping your body.
2. Raise it to shoulder height, then slowly extend your arms and return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when lifting the dumbbell and inhale when lowering it.
Precautions
1. Do not pull the dumbbell excessively towards your chin; lift it only to the height where you feel the stimulus in your shoulders.
2. Do not lean your upper body back; focus on the sensation in your shoulders with a light weight.
