Gallery: Traps Need Love Too: 7 Exercises That Will Enhance Your Traps

You’ve got the arms, you’ve got the shoulder, but the traps are seriously lacking. If you’ve been putting in a good chunk of time at the gym and it’s beginning to show some results, then you need to make sure you’re hitting your traps really hard. Trapezius muscle focus is important for multiple reasons: 1. so you don’t develop into  a hunchback after a bad lift, and 2. so you don’t look funny without your shirt on. 

If you didn't know, bodybuilding is all about balance and while most guys obsess over their arms, that singular focus can be detrimental to overall muscle balance. But there’s hope! If you start incorporating these exercises into your bulk-up routine you will acquire the bulging traps you've always envisioned yourself having.
