Her MISSING Back Muscle!🤯

How to Strengthen Your Traps

Basic Shrug Technique

• The basic shrug exercise primarily targets the upper traps, providing a foundational movement for trap strengthening.

• By leaning your torso forward slightly during the shrug, you can also engage the mid traps effectively.

Targeting Lower Traps

• The lower traps are activated during specific movements, such as raising your arm overhead or setting up for a back squat.

• Weakness or improper activation of the lower traps can lead to issues like shoulder blade instability, which may cause neck or shoulder pain.

Recommended Exercise for Lower Traps

• Research indicates that lying face down on a bed and raising your arms in a wide position is an effective exercise for strengthening the lower traps.

• It is important to pause at the top of this movement for 3 seconds to maximize engagement and effectiveness.
