So, today I want to talk to you about how to exercise our trapezius muscles. First of all, according to the habit, let's learn about the function and muscle principle of trapezius muscle first, so as to ensure that every training is efficient in the future.
First of all, what is the use of trapezius muscle? We know that trapezius is two small muscles that grow around our neck and beside our shoulders, so the first advantage is that it can make us look stronger, just like many bodybuilders, and look very powerful.
So, what is the muscle principle of trapezius muscle? Simply put, trapezius muscle needs us to contract our trapezius muscle by lifting it, thus stimulating the growth of trapezius muscle.
After we have clarified these basic principles, I believe you must be interested in how to practice trapezius muscle, so let me talk about my personal training method.
The first method, standing dumbbell shrugs, we need to find two dumbbells first. When we exercise trapezius muscle, I think the weight can be slightly heavier than the previous training, because a large part of our back muscles will participate in our training when we do this action, so increasing the weight appropriately is good for our training effect.
First of all, after we find our dumbbell, we stand up straight, then put our hands down vertically and hold the dumbbell tightly with both hands. Then, when the whole body is stable, we do a lifting action on the scapula, feeling that the trapezius muscle is slowly lifted and then slowly contracted. When we reach the peak, we will keep it for one to three seconds to stimulate our trapezius muscles more.
The reason why dumbbells are recommended to us is because I think dumbbells are more convenient to control the strength of our left and right trapezius muscles. If you feel that your trapezius muscle is not very good, you can use unilateral training.
We can hold the fixture in one hand and the dumbbell in the other, and do an upward lifting process. When doing this, be sure not to lean too much like one side, and always keep a good posture. If it is difficult to control, we can do it by adjusting the weight of dumbbells.
In the same exercise, after we use dumbbells, we can also use barbells to exercise. The advantage of barbell is that the trajectory of our strength is relatively stable during the exercise, so I think we have our own advantages and can exercise together.
In the process of training, we need to pay attention to one aspect, that is, when exerting strength, we should control our necks and don't let them shrink together, which is very unfavorable to our posture and may seriously cause our spine strain.
