IMPORTANT INFO ➡️ This all comes down to the origin and insertions of the different fibers of the traps. Here’s the breakdown for you:

UPPER TRAPS | the fibers run horizontally and therefore help to retract the scapulae (as shown in the first 3 exercises of the video - to varying degrees I suppose)

MID TRAPS | the fibers run horizontally AND have some fibers that run more vertically. Therefore they help to elevate the scapulae (like on a traditional standing DB shrug - how much this occurs may depend on exactly how you do them I suppose) as well as retract the scapulae (like the first 3 exercises shown in this video)

LOWER TRAPS | the fibers run more vertically. They originate on the spine & insert on the lower portion of the scapula. Therefore, they help depress the scapulae (pull them downward) which is what happens on an exercise like the final one I show here - the standing plate raise - when the arms need to be pulled back overhead

Massive credit to Paul Carter here. He’s a wealth of knowledge & his content has been helpful to me. Particularly in my understanding of the fiber orientation of both the upper traps & mid traps. If you do not follow him, do so. His IG is LiftRunBang1

Kelso shrugs...This is the 1st time ever seeing these. I cannot wait to implement exercise into my workout!! Thank You God Bless!!

You and your videos are in a league of their own. In my opinion superior to everyone else I’ve seen on YouTube!!!

tons of useful info, with sick editing, coherent brief explanations, all under a minute! GOAT fitness YouTuber

[mumfordboydylan]

You are by far the best descriptor of how workouts should feel and what it targets. Very important have an idea in your head what you should do for proper form

Never seen the first exercise variation before, been a trainer for 15 years
Super impressed! Thanks dude

[Ichorianblaze]

I just want to say that one of my dream careers was being a personal trainer or some kind of coach. These shorts of yours. Have been more informing, more entertaining. Than any book, any lecture I've watched, and it's making me realize that I should really try for that dream again. Thank you

[kylegungapershad]

I honestly asked someone today what's the best.... And they did not give me these. Appreciate it. Keep it up.

[sarunas]

The only youtuber with actually GOOD music in his videos.

[lousassole]

I agree that the kelso shrugs are an underutilized exercise, but a standing shrug is also effective for building the traps because the traps help control all shoulder movements, whether its up, down, forward, or back.

[nadavscz]

The enthusiasm you have for what u do, and the detailed descriptions of the muscles and extremely detailed instructions of how to perform the exercises, make your content very fun to watch.
Thank you man. Keep up the good work and channel.

[NickHiras-szpb]

Davis has the best fitness/lifting content out there 💯

[JottZumKa.]

Bisher die besten shorts die ich kenne in dem Bereich! 💪🏻

Die art und weise wie du alles erklärst ist der Hammer - schnell einfach und auf den Punkt.

Außerdem ist das editing Bombe! Top notch aber nicht zu spektakulär.

Danke für den super content 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[markakablairranglyoshandol]

I love your workouts brus! You tell us what we need to know without the attitude of most of the people that provide advice. Keep up the great work!!
