Dumbbells are versatile equipment that allow for isolated weight control in each hand, thus enhancing stability and addressing side imbalances.
They can also target the core when utilized asymmetrically, providing comprehensive engagement.
The trapezius muscle, situated in the upper back between the shoulders, plays a key role in various back movements and is specifically targeted through exercises like shrugs.
"Traps" are essential for upper back strength and aesthetics, and focused training can improve functionality and appearance.
