Employing dumbbells in a workout offers versatility and the ability to isolate weight in each hand, promoting superior stability and muscle symmetry.
For this exercise program designed for women, repetitions and weight recommendations are tailored to general population statistics (average height of 5'5", weight of 140 lbs, and age of 34 years), though individual requirements may vary significantly.
The trapezius muscles, situated in the upper back between the shoulders, are engaged during numerous back exercises and can be specifically isolated with targeted movements such as shrugs.
Dumbbell variations typically involve less total weight than their barbell counterparts, emphasizing precision and control in each movement.
By incorporating this approach, participants can effectively target and develop their traps while aligning with personalized training goals.
