With your elbows slightly bent, raise your arms up, either out in front of your body for front raises or out to the sides for lateral raises, but go higher than what's conventionally done. Don't swing the weight up. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to your sides. Use deliberate control on the lifting and lowering portion of each rep.
Stopping when your arms are parallel to the floor is like stopping a biceps curl when your forearm is parallel to the floor. When most lifters are doing shoulder raises, they try to minimize involvement of the upper traps. They don't raise their arms above shoulder level or even slightly below should-level, yet many of these same people do shrugs, upright rows, and other trap oriented exercises.
The truth is, just about any upper body exercise from seated rows to biceps curls elicits low to moderate activity in the lower traps, so don't fool yourself into thinking that front or side shoulder raises are miraculously going to spare your traps from any activity. In other words, don't hold the delusion that your upper traps aren't being activated in a number of upper-body exercises that you didn't think involved that muscle group. – Nick Tumminello
