I make sure to let my fingers unroll at the bottom.
Upper Traps

• Cable Shrug

I stand about 2 feet behind the cables so I can shrug up and back at a 30 degree angle.

Horizontal rowing takes care of these

I just let my shoulder blades pull forward at the bottom of the movement, and I squeeze them back and together at the top of the movement

• Meadows Row

•">https://www.youtube.com/watch... Neutral Grip Pullup

• Neutral Grip Pulldown

Some people love the pulldown/pullup with their arms out to the side (AKA a wide grip).

My teres major / rear delts always get too involved for my preference.
Teres Major

I never train these specifically. They get plenty of involvement across the lat and rear delt exercises.
Spinal Erectors

• Back Extension like this

I setup a rope attachment on the lowest cable height, lean forward slightly, and perform the same movement pattern as the first exercise. Only upper back rounds, not lower.
