Her's a little tip I picked up a year ago that has helped me:
Maximum benifit is from cables but you can use bells if you like.
Do cable shoulder laterals for more matching resistance stretch
throughout. Perform in front or behind body for variety. Warm-up with
light weight with a couple of sets (if this is your front-load exercise in
your cycle).
Slightly raise the shoulder and traps as you raise the weight ( make
sure the palm is turned foward and not in a pouring motion ).
You can use a set/set pattern of your choice but I would suggest starting
on the lighter side to ensure you master the form or the exercise. Some
of you guys with more dense trap to shoulder mass may have to slow the
tempo of the movement to concentrate on a more squeezing of the
trap muscle as you raise the weight.
lol.
