Best Traps Exercises

The trapezius muscles span from the neck to the mid-back and are involved in shrugging, scapular retraction, and overhead movements. Well-developed traps contribute to neck thickness and upper back mass.

The trapezius is a large diamond-shaped muscle with three functional regions: upper fibres (elevate the scapula), middle fibres (retract the scapula), and lower fibres (depress the scapula). It originates from the occipital bone and spinous processes of C7-T12.
