As a bodybuilder, whether i'm in a wifebeater, a suit, a shirt, whatever i'm in; my appearance is affected by my traps. I've always known from day 1 that i want mine extra large. For those who don't know which muscle i'm referring to (what?!), here's a look for ya.

Without upper traps you will not have complete upper body development. Why? Picture boulder-like shoulders tapering horizontally to the neck. 'Nuff said. Casual lifters and even some serious ones often neglect this muscle or feel it is adequately worked when performing other movements. That attitude won't get you anywhere; especially not animalistic, intimidating traps or a thick neck. And the opposite of a thick neck? I don't even have to answer that one.

The best thing about the trapezius muscle is the simplicity of working it and the extreme pump if done right.
Method: When a teacher asks you a question you don't know the answer to and don't feel like giving a shit, you just shrug. That's right. Shrugs are the answer.
At the end of a back day routine, grab a couple of dumbbells or a barbell, load up on the weights and pump out the reps. Use weights heavy enough to feel the burn. If my description's too vague, it'll look like this.

As grip might be a hindrance from loading up the weights and chalk might not be readily available, it might be useful to get one of these lifting straps.
