Warming up: I personally warm-up with Barbell Shrugs I do not need to warm up with dumbbell shrugs when you warm up 15 to 20 times to perform with mild to moderate weight.

As often as I should this exercise: Shrugs are the best exercise you do to increase mass in your trapezius leave, so I perform barbell shrugs each shoulder training

How to exercise: Standing with knees slightly bent and the head forward, holding a pair of dumbbells at sides, palms facing in. Begin lift the dumbbells with your trapezius, keep your arms straight at all times, when you reach the Tip try and make your deltoid touch the ears (which is of course not physically possible, but it provides a good contraction at the top) hold for ½ second and then lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

Since the distance is short and the movement of your traps are generally well you are able to lift heavy weights. When lifting heavy, you can find, put your forearms in front of you to do, if such is the case, try a pair of lifting straps to improve your grip. Improved grip to help your forearms grip the dumbbells longer, so you can complete dumbbell shrugs effective.
