Are trap muscles male gaze?

[Collagenic]

Not sure if training them will improve my lower third + frame or will turn me into the hulk

train them but dont overtrain, if they are too developed say bye to your physique

It’s all about the inserts

Look at Zyzz, massive traps w high insertions, and he looked aesthetic as fuck

Traps are controversial but I think they look good + they make you look jacked even while wearing clothes

he looked good despite it not because of it, his traps and narrow shoulders were his biggest failo.

If you stay natural, your traps will never get too big and i think girls do like traps but they are alos okay with underdevloped traps...

if youre on roids though and your traps get too big, yeah they look retarded

 

[jojoyou]

Stfu and train them BITCH

Never fall for the traps trap, its the most retarded muscle to train, makes your shoulders look sloped and unaesthetic

small traps also make you look retarded and make u look like u have a long neck
ideal is traps are in harmony with the delts

Than why train traps and not neck

I never said train traps everyday I just said they need to be in harmony
maybe train them directly like once every 2 or 3 weeks, they get hit by other exercises anyways

, makes your shoulders look sloped and unaesthetic

it depends on like width of the shoulder girdle, insertion point, and size of delts
guys like alphadestiny get the sloped look but guys like simeon panda don't because of those differences

and op traps are not male gaze

Men with larger sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius muscles were rated as stronger, more masculine, and higher in short-term attractiveness.

All muscles = male gaze.

They’re an extremely easy muscle to grow, and you absolutely can as a natty have traps so big that they overpower your delts.

Once you get decently strong at overhead press, and rows, you’re going to have good traps well balanced with your physique. Doing shrugs on top of that is overkill imo and when you start resembling a damn ninja turtle which is far from aesthetic

 

[Tonymontana]

Upper trap work also makes your posture and shoulder health worse from my experience.

Balancing your vertical and horizontal pushes and pulls with side and rear delt isolation keeps your shoulders healthy and creates a more aesthetic physique

That is complete bs. Guessing you picked up that line from the cringy fitness community.

I isolated my upper traps with shrugs for two months and my traps got huge, now I have to avoid training them and I’m 100% natural.

Most of the alien models posted here only appeal to incels on looksmax and are more male gaze than gymaxxed guys JFL. These guys never step outside their house bc if they did they would notice that the guys slaying at bars/clubs are all tall and jacked

sorry to end this thread but it's literally physically impossible to get too big anything as a natural - any other response is mental illness or cope

Retard, post your physique and lets see how big these natty traps are LOL.

Sounds like a line straight from bodybuilding.com forums. Only impossible to get a muscle too big as a natty when you’re low t. Otherwise it’s certainly possible.
