I use the “Armpit Row” most trap workouts, it is where you get a DB around 50-70% of DB shrug weight and pull them up so as to shove them into your armpits. It cannot be done, but it is an excellent trap, middle delt and trap/delt tie in exercise.
it is basically an upright row, with dumbells, and neutral grip, in the frontal plane. It is a perfect alternative to upright rows eliminating the problems you highlighted Bushy.

Damn it! I need a diagram.
Are you pulling them along the body (side) or slightly in front? Your elbows aimed out away from the body as the DB moves upwards?
How far up is the movement?
Basically, does it look like you are doing DB shrugs with lousy form?
