The trapezius muscle is a flat triangular muscle that is located outside and down from the neck, and down the center of the back between the shoulder blades. The stronger the trapezium bulges on the sides of the neck, the more powerful and spectacular the athlete’s body will look. The traps workout targeting traps is necessary for the symmetrical development of the upper body.
This muscle is involved in retention exercises, such as gymnastic exercises. Also, the trapezoid plays an important role in the dynamic and static stabilization of the upper limb in the raised position, which is important in gymnastics, weightlifting, figure skating, rhythmic gymnastics, throwing, and interpretive disciplines.
Traps Workout: Trapezius Anatomy And Functions
The anatomical theory divides the trapezius muscle into three main sections:
- Upper part,
- Middle part,
- Bottom part.
The trapezius muscle (lat. Musculus trapezius) is a flat, wide muscle that occupies a superficial position in the back of the neck and the upper back. The trapezoid has the shape of a triangle, the base facing the spinal column, and the apex – to the acromion of the scapula. The trapezius muscles of both sides of the back together have the shape of a trapezoid. This muscle brings the scapula closer to the spinal column, contracting with all the bundles, raises the scapula, contracting with the upper bundles, and lowers, contracting with the lower ones.
Features Trapezius Exercises:
You can train traps both after training delts, and on a separate day, for deeper work. To have a well-developed trapezoid, you need to pay attention to training both the upper, middle, and lower parts separately.
