Want the perfect X-Frame? One muscle group that can often be overlooked in a training plan is your traps. Traps can make or break a physique if you’re a bodybuilder. -
Traps help give you the broad look that compliments defined shoulders, completing a well-rounded upper body. Here are a few tips to build them! -
1- Hit them hard! You’ll want to hit the traps hard with as much weight as possible, keeping reps around 6-8 with some sets. Then alternate this on other sets, take it up higher, such as a set of 50 to get the muscle burning and fatigued.

2-Turn up the volume! Traps respond well to high volume so don’t be afraid to hit them hard and often. In addition to this, the good news is that sore traps won’t interfere too much with the other lifts you are doing (if you are performing those exercises properly), so this shouldn’t be an issue either.
3-Hold it! Static holds can also be a good approach to utilize. A farmers walk, where you’re carrying heavy weight in both hands and walking across the room, is a good example of this. It’s a great way to build your traps along with improving your grip strength through holding the muscle under tension.
