Hold a barbell with a palms-down grip with the hands about shoulder-width apart. Keep the knees slightly bent, the hips straight, and the back tall, and raise the shoulders directly upwards to the ears as high as possible, lowering slowly to the original starting position. (Tip: grip the bar and think about pulling the hands apart from one another and focus on only raising/lowering the shoulders - DO NOT roll the shoulders.)
