BIG TRAPS or small traps? I am insecure about this, because I do not want to get larger traps. It wouldn't look right on my body. I want to look leaner, like a swimmer's physique. Is there a way to avoid having bulging traps like the top pic when I'm doing compound lifts? Lots of lifts kinda overlap with traps and I don't want that. I just want to be lean with slightly bigger shoulders. I need your wisdom, /fit/.
>>77177534>traps grow too fastBench is the best thing to be overdoing.
>>77177534giant traps are a sign of steroid use. don't use roids and your traps will look human.
>>77177534The example you used for big traps is a roid junkie who spends 90% his life at the gym, including as part of his job.The example of a "swimmer's physique" looks like a natty who's been lifting, doing multiple forms of cardio and eating well consistently for about 5-10 years, possibly even on a low dose of test.Both of these people are far more dedicated to their bodies than you will ever be so you can rest easy knowing you will never have to worry about your traps, or any other muscle, being "too big". I promise you, if youre concerned about getting "too big" you never will be. The people who are "too big" for you have spend a lot of time and energy getting that way, I guarantee you will not accidentally wake up one day, look in the mirror and go "oh shit, this one muscle is way too big for my liking :(", that doesn't ever happen to anybody. There are people who go insane with despair because that is their one unachievable, impossible dream.

>>77177544big traps are ugly and they are clear evidence that you're on gear.
FUCK Deadlifts works traps fuck fuck fuck
>>77177534OP here. Does anyone know if deadlifts will grow my hands and forearms? I don't want big hands and forearms, as that would make both my own and my partner's penis look smaller in comparison. My partner is insecure about their size, and to be honest so am I.
>>77177578Big traps are good if you're a huge wrestler type guy. Or if you have Hollywood good looks that just call for it. But if you're 99% of the population, giant traps just look weird.
>>77177534Never train traps.
>>77177569If you're a personal trainer, you would know that a lot of women fear getting huge traps. Because traps are the easiest to make grow. It's just comedy when there are big bulging traps on a manlet. That shit only looks good on action movie actors and steroid wrestlers. The average dork just ruins his aesthetic with giant traps
>>77179143I thought traps responded to test, like delts, and women would have less to worry about there
>>77177534It’s generic. If you aren’t roiding either then you have nothing to worry about.
>>77177534If you squat you will want big traps to act as a squat pad

I had big traps since I was a teen since I did elevated push ups after tae kwon do class and didnt understand what I was doing since I had my feet up way too high. if you want traps, do elevated push ups with your feet on a sofa.
>>77177534>the natty dyel is afraid his muscles will get too biglol
as if everybody is blid & retarded xDthat "swimmer twink" whom is 100% on roids has enormous traps lol :D
>>77177534How do I take the Goldberg pill?
big traps all the way. You gotta have them to look jacked in a T-shirt. Also lets remember that the king of aesthetics had very very large traps
>>77183468He doesn't have big traps he just has high trap insertions which looks like shit
>>77177534the idea that you need to avoid hitting traps to create a shoulder shelf is a retarded myth, applicable only if you're sub-10th percentile in shoulder width and have high inserts. otherwise, let you traps grow. large traps are masculine, and you look much better in a t-shirt
Large traps look great on wrestler-type builds. Having an ugly face or a baby face, being below 6 ft., not having large hands or a square jaw, it's just going to look funny with huge bulging traps. Traps for a very specific type of men, the vast majority of men would just look weird with it.
