My Traps Dominate My Body

if your traps are dominating your body, you better lateral raise all the time to create shoulder width. i understand that some TOP PRO body builders have issues w/ trap size detracting from the look of their delts…

i will say though, it’s a problem most of us mere mortals would gladly take/have.

“my arms are getting too big.”

LOL. I think Johnnie Jackson may be the only pro who is truly at risk of that muscle group being too big for his body. After watching some of his videos, I even quit thinking mine were overdeveloped.

To illustrate…

fawwwk.

whatever. he looks fucking awesome.

Al Pacino is awesome, and I’m pretty sure that Frank Caliento guy is the one who said that while doing an impression of him… fucking hilarious.

Just stop doing traps four days a week, you should be ok.

What I do is just squeeze the shit out of my traps before workout. I have found that ‘turns off’ my traps, for a time, so I can feel the target muscle working. Perhaps give this a try?

strange, when i squeeze the shit out of other body parts they get ‘turned on’

awkward

Whenever I read the shit you write I think “This guy seems kind of cool. I should be his friend.”

Then you say some really gay shit. Like . . .queer as a football-bat type shit.

And I get terrified. Then I realize . . .I’d MMF with the Holymac.

I think we all would. But not all at once, of course. Because THAT would be gay.

Looking at that picture of Johnny Jackson, it’s almost as if a smaller set of shoulders are growing out of his shoulders…

The problem is not that his traps are too big, its that he’s a little bitch from the waist down. Big traps FTW, even though the OP doesn’t have them and started this thread anyway.


Safe to say, OP is probably not this guy.

why start a thread like this and then post no pic and then tell people to F off when you don’t show one?

post the picture man!!! Fuck sake. ive gone through 3 pages to see your massive traps.

Your avatar is hilarious! Is there a story behind it?

I do not have this issue but I can give you some advice. When you are doing your lat raises just make sure to not let your arms go past parallel to the floor at the top of the movement, anything past will involve some trap. I would also start to build and focus in on your lats until to allow the rest of your back to catch up.

Its just an old meme.
