Follow GymDone for daily 3D gym content. Most people only train the upper traps... and that’s why their back looks flat from behind. But your traps are made of three parts, and each one has a job: Upper Traps Responsible for elevation (shrugging). Give you that tall, powerful look around the neck. Middle Traps Pull your shoulder blades back. Crucial for posture, thickness, and stability in presses & pulls. Lower Traps Anchor the shoulder blades down. Improve overhead strength, shoulder health, and prevent impingement. If you want a full, 3D back with shape, power, and balance… you must train all three. Strong traps = better posture better shoulder mobility better stability and a thicker, more aesthetic back. #trapsworkout #backday #gymtips #gymmotivation #musclebuilding #gymtutorial #gymdone #fitnesstips #strengthtraining #3Dgymcontent

🚨The Root Cause of Your Upper Trap Tightness…(Get my step-by-step program on Sale today in @theptinitiative profile link) — ➡️Many people deal with chronic upper trap tightness, and have tried stretching endlessly… getting no improvement. —- ✅Many times it comes from an imbalance of the scapular force couple. This is an interplay of the Lower Traps, Upper Traps, and Serratus Anterior. —- 🎯This group of 3 muscles need to work together to create optimal movement around the shoulder. If there is an issue with this force couple (ex: lower trap weakness), then the upper trap can compensate and lead to a feeling of chronic tightness. -— In this video I’m walking you through 3 great starter exercises to begin addressing the root cause of your tight upper traps. — ✅📋Need a proven program to follow to fix your shoulders?

Two new upper trap exercises for cooking you traps🔥 1. The Overhead Cable Lu Raise. The traps fire super hard to upwardly rotate the scapula in the overhead position. Yes, you’re missing out on the stretch aspect here, but you can make that up with the other exercise. 2. High-Incline Dumbbell Shrug/Row. Try not to go too heavy here. Instead focus on engaging that area between your upper and mid traps by shrugging up and slightly back. . . . ctedits @jeffnippard . . #traps #shoulderworkout #shoulderday #gymhack #workout #gymmotivation #trending #trendingreels #explorepage #explore #fitness #healthy_maniac
