Top three muscles you should STOP training or train less frequently

[Dr. Mog]

Since aesthetics is the main goal for looksmaxxers, not every muscle deserves equal attention.

1) Obliques

-A heavy blocky waist ruins the aesthetics and destroys the V taper if you ever had one.
-The only way to train obliques if you ever do is through Russian cable twists, once in every alternate week.
-Do add planks, hanging leg raises regularly tho for the overall core development, just not the side trunks.

2) Traps (upper trapezius only)

-Massive traps push your shoulders up, kill the long-neck aesthetic, and make you look “bulldog.”
-Slight development is clean and masculine, but overgrown traps make your chest/shoulders look small.
-They do add a good amount of intimidating look with a shirt on tho. But still not really aesthetic.

3) Front delts

-Why on earth would you ever train this? It’s already hammered enough on the chest press with the proper range of motion.
-If you isolate too much they kill the round 3D shoulder cap look.
-Just train rear delts (very imp) and side delts more and you are good to go.

Until we meet again!

Literally heard a foid at work say that she hates overdeveloped traps on men yesterday. There's even a fun word for that sorta thick ugly bodybuilder neck in German: "Stiernacken", or literally "bull's neck", which was the term she used

U have no clue what ur talking abt, obliques don’t need to be trained but in some cases can make ur waist look more aesthetically even though it may be very slightly bigger,also u most likely thinking the traps that show from the front are ur upper traps but there literally ur middle traps and ur upper trap get biased in something like a Lu raise,third front delts should still be trained and many peoples front delts have fallen behind because of the don’t train front delts propaganda

If you're a natural you don't have to think about any of this. Just lift and get as big as you can

They already will be slightly bigger when you train abs in free movement body weight exercises which is just enough.

most likely thinking the traps that show from the front are ur upper traps but there literally ur middle traps and

I think? I study the human anatomy as a part of my job.


Upper trapezius is the one which showcases the look when viewed the anterior part of the body and hard training that will only be called as Stiernacken as @Restitutor Orbis stated.

front delts should still be trained

Front delts are a cope. A Normal chest press (I stress the word ‘press’ not chest/pec fly) will hammer it enough due to the free weight ROM. When viewed from sideways adding bulk on front delts only kill the 3D look. Train sides and rear delts (which many people don’t).

Two truths one lie

Really retarded post. You have no clue about what you’re saying. Training your obliques won’t make your waist bigger, the upper traps are a really small muscle on the back of your neck, you’re referring to the middle traps. And the front delts need to be trained as they are very important. Rear delts dont need to be trained as they get hammered in every Sagital row and transverse plane row. Stop saying shit you have no clue about

How do I train side delts specifically for wider bidelt development?
