Who trains traps directly here ?

[Stavios]

I noticed that Deadlifts or 1/2 deadlifts are better for traps development than any shrugs or up-right rows movements

what do you guys think ?

[The Squadfather]

your traps are pretty mountainous yourself big stud.

[Stavios]

thanks squad papa 

[Trev]

upright rows take care of them.

[The Squadfather]

try some bb shrug/db shrug/upright row giant sets.

If your traps get too big, they look crap - remember Jim Quinn ?!!!

GOOD POINT....

[michael arvilla]

traps can never be too big.

Bingo!

johhnie jackson is a good example...............

[Stavios]

traps can never be too big.

don't know about that !
I think thats the only muscle someone need to keep in check because it they are too big and your shoulder development isn't great, it makes you look very narrow

but big traps are what makes a physique look powerfull IMO

[The Squadfather]

GOOD POINT....

hahahahhahaa, it always makes me laugh when some little fagggot says that a certain muscle is "too big", if a muscle group looks bigger than the muscles surrounding it that means those groups need to catch up and get bigger not the other way around.

very true tho, I hate people who tries to "downsize" their legs because their upper-body is too small

legs can never be too big, look at tom plats he looked incredible even if his upper-body was lagging behind the incredible legs

uh, you do know that upright rows target the delts, right?  Traps are only the stabilizers.

LOL!

ok then................what body part can be "too big" ?!?!?? Chest,Biceps?,Triceps,Back?,Legs,Hams?,Shoulders?

it depends on a persons symmetry (trying to get all body parts "even" to "match")
on there own truly and in symmetry with all the other body parts NO body part can ever be too big!

When I was about 18-19 my wife (then girlfriend) tricked me into drinking a big sip of Vlasic pickle juice she poured into a plastic cup.....I'll never forget that.....horrible.

Like I said, traps can be too big is you have narrow shoulders to begin with and not a super huge shoulder development

it makes a narrow/stocky look and I think it looks bad

but thats about the only muscle

I don't know about trap training, but pouring some ice cold pickle juice into your ear when you have an ear ache works wonders.

ok............fair enough!................ill give you that!

but.................some times having one body part "overdeveloped" IE: having a "freaky body part
is a good thing/think Mike Matarazzos arms,Tom PLatzs Quads,DEmayo Quads ..........etc  etc

my traps grew a lot this year while I did not direct training for them but I did more deadlifts in my trainings

i have a drink of 3/4 cup pickle juice before doing heavy leg workouts and it prevents me from blowing farts during heavy sets.

ok not true...

I ate some leftover lasagna last night....it didn't have enough meat in it so I browned some hamburger and added some spices and a little tomato sauce....did the trick.
