Neutral Grip Wide Chin-Ups are a great exercise to hit the lower traps and rhomboids. To perform the exercise correctly, first pull the shoulders back and down, then tuck the elbows into the sides.

Excellent variation for really hammering the lower traps and rhomboids, which are very often not used correctly. The first movement should be to pull the shoulders back and down, and then to tuck the elbows into the sides.
