Big Traps Make You Look Narrow???

[@JustinasD]

Actually big traps might even make you look wider, because they divide the uppers edge of the body into more segments, what visually makes it look wider. (neck- traps - shoulders vs. neck - shoulders)

[@elijahhilb6518]

Nah if they are huge you will look skinnier. But only if they are gigantic

[@erenjeager8053]

​@@elijahhilb6518you mean like toji

[@Bigbiceps301]

Big traps are cool but if you have no neck development it looks off

[@ahrensmith8344]

My traps are bigger than my shoulders and if I wear a tshirt I look round. But without a shirt I look square and bulky so it’s weird

[@randomboy123ify]

I'd never turn my back on traps.

[@alexanthony7605]

I think shoulder development has a big part to play here , if you have underdeveloped shoulders but very developed traps that's when the narrow look comes in, whereas if you have big shoulders , traps just make you look so much better

[@nestroit5010]

yep, delts and traps go hand in hand, they are my best parts and without them I would not look half as good.

[@TheGreatslyfer]

Yeah bro spot on the trap and neck making you look bigger. People don't realize how much of a difference bigger traps and necks make when it comes to making you look like you lift. That's literally the only things that are uncovered when you're wearing clothes and speaking to people, so why WOULDN'T you train them?

[@DimaShinder]

Even if it did, I think huge traps with a narrow build look a lot more imposing than no traps with a wide build

[@jmorel42]

Dima Shinder you don't need to worry about looking imposing if you're above 6 feet

[@MuEnViFitness]

Satisfied Pepe you absolutely can. how many skinny talk guys are out there? 180 5,9 is more dominant than 6,2 150

[@jeremyfranklinwhitfieldthe2171]

[@EgoReckless]

Alex, tried your recommended rack pulls for traps and they haven't been this sore in months. You're a legend

[@MikefromTexas1]

Traps make u look narrow if u *have no lats or shoulders*.

[@AlexLeonidas]

You look narrow period in that case so no point even mentioning

[@MikefromTexas1]

AlphaDestiny Well there's a few dumbasses out there that should stay aware, at least.

[@AlexLeonidas]

lol good point

[@whatdupdoh]

sloped traps especially in shirts do make a lot of people look awkward and more narrow I do agree

[@jmorel42]

Realistikk513 what do you mean by "sloped" traps

[@whatdupdoh]

Satisfied Pepe Google Zyzz those are Sloped traps now Google pete rubish those are not Sloped traps. alphas are somewhere in the middle more towards Sloped. Sloped grow faster and look bigger without a shirt but to me don't look as good it's personal preference but the look itself is mostly genetic and a little about posture.

[@whatdupdoh]

gold berg and the Lilliebridges also have great traps that aren't sloped

[@AlexLeonidas]

Looks cool AF to me

[@neoanderson367]

Pete rubbish looks like Barney Rubble. I have a long face though so a wide neck and yoke will work very well

[@RDA8191]

I've seen narrow looking dudes with massive traps, but it's because their shoulders and arms sucked, not because the traps are big

[@blink182SkatePopPunk]

RDA8191 there's this dude at my gym with huge traps but every other body part is novice lifter level big...he's also a really narrow dude. looks weird af but better than average

[@THEMEISTER004]

@@blink182SkatePopPunk he was probably fat before he got big muscularity wise. Fat guys usually have a bit of extra trap muscle along with the obvious legs.

[@ixspectre]

You've become one of my fav fitness channels. Imma buy all your programs baybee

[@weakstrong3872]

That’s only true for pictures I would say. If ur narrow in real life u are narrow. If you are wide then you will look wide - traps make a minimal difference. Width is width

[@bobbyhill2438]

GREAT VIDEO! You and TeamThree are my fitness role models!

[@ramzinasser5387]

Never knew about dis till I saw the video and ngl it does make you look more narrow 😂😂 like when he showed himself with the t shit he did look narrower. Am I the only one taht thought that?

[@3Runner95]

Try messing with photoshop, if you look wide but no neck/traps its a very stupid look, and the width doesn't look impressive, its like a naturally wide person. But very minor neck/trap development already take you beyond an average looking man

[@Legenda20SLO]

It's amazing how easy it is to build a huge neck. Can't believe I'm already curling 10kg's for 50 reps.

[@7LeGeNdArYdragon8]

[@FluffyMeowington]

I've got super wide hips, I've given up on shoulder-to-waist ratio, traps are my only hope

[@cckl1995]

same bro it's kinda weird and sucks

[@turnippatrol4607]

If your traps attach low on your neck they could be infinitely big without ever creating that 'narrow/sloping'. I'd say yours look to be about medium height in terms of where they attach. I've seen guys whose traps attach so high it's like they really DO go up to their ears. The funny part about that is that their traps are still going to slope up like crazy regardless of how big they are, because the shape is mainly determined by the attachment point on your neck, not how thick they are.

[@yasinpatel514]

In my opinion developed traps makes your shoulders look WIDER as it increases the distance between your side of neck and end of shoulder.

[@khanloveism]

If someone so worried about traps gonna make them look nerrow. What thay should do is train traps have well developed traps and then see in mirror if they actually look nerrow and not as impressive as before then they should just stop training traps and eventually muscle will get weak and will get smaller.

[@greycloud3474]

depending on traps attachment u can either look awkward or really good having big traps

[@RodesLaw]

Totally nailed it man. What idiot thinks traps make you look narrow? That's insane. Big traps and shoulders are what make you look dominating, everything else is second, at least from every built man and woman I have seen in my life, which is probably like 500.

[@DM-rc4yu]

Big traps make you look narrowER, that's a fact. Guys with narrow shoulders should absolutely avoid big traps. Your width needs to be at least above average to pull it off.

[@FelixBeatmaker]

Traps have made my upper body look bigger and wider rather than looking more narrow

[@ARVA12]

Having short clavicles makes one look narrow.

[@XlAnonymousUserlX]

Didn't you make a video forever ago about how to achieve the Steve Reeves look you basically need to neglect the posterior chain and the traps and focus on chest, arms, side delts, lats, and quads? Steve Reeves was by no means lacking width, and his physique was highly impressive.

[@AlexLeonidas]

Yes, as this is the look he had. I think Grimek had a better physique though due to the stockiness.

[@4ZURI]

You litteraly proved they were right the second you popped up 💔😭

[@Elit3Ac3s]

Hey Alex, you ever think about doing some videos on your nutrition/full day of eating? I think your channel can really explode when you start doing some stuff like that

[@jackcarter6629]

My neck is 19 and a half inches and my shoulders would look wider than they are if I could get the neck narrower. So for years I went the route of lateral raises but any shoulder exercise makes my neck bigger so I was wasting my time I think. In the end I just went fuck it and blasted the fuck out of shoulders with OHP, lateral raises and shrugs on top of my deadlifting. "Fuck it" mode is so much better than worrying about ANYTHING when lifting. I knew I had to get shit done. When I was a lanky 6'4 teenager I wanted to gain weight desperately. It wasn't until I got into my 30's that it started coming on. Now I look like a bull with thick back, wide lats, big neck, big traps and defined deltoids - but a year from being 50. I wish I was like I am back in my twenties but better late than never. If there was in the 1980's the internet and the advice available today I would've been, all I had was the info I read in magazines at the house of mates (I didn't buy the mags) and the trainer guy in charge of safety in the gyms I went to, places I paid to use but ended up leaving because of confrontations with other lifters.

[@AlexLeonidas]

Very nice Jack! I bet you look like a badass 50 year old.

[@venkteshprasadmayarao7265]

I think Alan Thrall is a good example for this. He'll look narrow when he's standing alone because #Quadzilla but when he's around others you'll realize he's not as narrow as he looks.

Didn't have traps at the time. Although I will say that to have the Reeves look it's fine to have a pencil neck and traps

[@juanbaclavab]

The shoulder to waist ratio means nothing, it doesn't indicate how wide you truly are. It all comes down to the real width across shoulders from mid delt to mid delt in inches or cm. Under a shirt or jacket it's gonna show who is a scrawny guy with 18 inch shoulder width and a small waist, and who is an alpha with long clavicles and a 23 inch shoulder width even if the waist is blocky. I would rather look like that last one than a guy who looks like has the bone structure of a 15 year girl

Yous sound extremely insecure. Ain't no exercice gonna fix that.

[@shawngadwa269]

I think training your traps can make you look more narrow if you already do not have broad shoulders and/or you don't train your shoulders. I say train shoulders and traps, problem solved.

Do tummy vacuums, pullovers, lots of weighted chinups, and vertical pressing variations. Gotta bring up the shoulder to waist ratio.

[@baddicusbrunner9729]

Alex, I was somewhat screwed in genetics. I have a pretty wide clavicle, and a 28 inch waist when lean. But my hips/pelvis is 30.5 inches when lean. It gives me an hourglass look, is there anything I can do to get this to camouflage itself? Also what do you think about it, could I still have an aesthetic physique?

How do i get traps like timucin emre guclu? Dont say 500-1000lbs rack pulls cause he doesnt lol. Btw his traps are decent. Like it is long but not massive.

[@brumbloke]

A lot of trap development is genetic. If your tall and narrow your traps are more pronounced. If your short and wide less so. I've been training 15 years. I do shrugs with 7 plates for 6 reps but I'll often see a 6ft2 inch dude with pointy traps up to his neck shrugging 2 plates...and I'm possible 2 times as wide as him..so there is some partial truth to width and traps.

[@AlexLeonidas]

You're probably way bigger than him as a whole though. Highly doubt it's the traps, in fact if he's taller than you that should automatically give him a size edge. This tells me that you have an excellent physique in comparison to most, which would explain why you appear so broad. Then again this is only my speculation.

[@brumbloke]

Your probably right. I suppose because he's so narrow his traps look more pronounced. Shit why can't we have both massive width and massive traps. (My back thick AF though)....what do you think? i.imgur.com/3QD2W0N.jpg

Hey Alex kinda off topic here, but I've taken your advice and started applying minoxidil to my face every night, it's been about a week now and I believe I'm starting to see some vellus hairs on my patchy areas already, just a quick question, is it okay if I trim my beard regularly? Not shave it off completely but run the razor machine over my face and keep the hairs small or will that affect my growth?

[@AlexLeonidas]

In theory you can shave the entire journey, and then after 6 months you can just let it grow it into a full beard. But this isn't fun. Trust me you want to see the progress and not trimming too often makes things exciting.

[@ggcpf2874]

Thanks for the reply man! Guess I'll just let it grow freely then! Keep up the good work bro.

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

So what did you do different to get your traps bro? Im a new subscriber from omarisuf. Rack pulls above the knee, power shrugs, neck training?

[@AlexLeonidas]

I got tons of videos about traps, if you use the channel search engine you'll find all the resources. If I can give you a summary though, it would mean adding rack pulls, cheat rows, cheat shrugs, and direct neck work. All very heavy and explosive.

[@Hohmies86]

No homo but Alex I'm really diggin the bear mode! Unfortunately as a 30 year old man I only grow chops and goatee, my stache..... I hate it

Alex if im a early intermediate running NE 2x a week , should I increase my weights with 10lbs in a week or 5lbs? For example 1rm ohp with minibands on intensity days

[@highviewseeker5415]

Baris BANDDESTINY You should increase as much as you can

[@kotallysavage6496]

Baris BANDDESTINY depends how long you've lifted. You can add 5lbs a each time you train simply doing 3x5 or 5x5. I did this adding 10lbs a week for a good while. Once you can't increase it like that anymore you can just use concurrent periodisation and add only 5lbs a week to each lift. If you can't then deload like 5-10lbs. Overhead press and exercises like it will be harder to increase than squats, deadlifts and bench press. I've been deadlifting a month and went from 220lbs to around 310lbs max. 90lbs in a month... Noob gains are insane, I love it.

[@dragoarrow8]

Baris BANDDESTINY Base it off of the previous weeks workout.

[@fangiscool1]

10 pounds a week is novice progression, not intermediate

[@kotallysavage6496]

fangiscool1 didn't even notice he said he was a intermediate as he asked 5-10lbs a week. If he can add that much he's a novice. I'm a novice and I hate it but at the same time I love that I hit a 5lb PR twice a week which feels great.
