Rear traps

[ectomorph]

I have been trying to get my rear traps bigger for 10 years now and they are still tiny. I looked into synthrol and that for the most part is just oil. I was wondering if there are too many nerves in you back to injet an oil based AAS to promote site enhancement. I have tried every exersize and nothing works. I am just negitive on the genes back there. Let me know as I am scared there are going to be too many veins/nerves back there to stick anything. thanks in advance ECTO :hmmm:

1) What do you mean "rear" traps?
2) Any pics?
3) Exercises you have done for them?

We usually refer to upper, mid, and lower traps.
Shrugs, overhead presses, and especially DL's are usually the way to go for upper traps. Wide rowing is for middle traps (as opposed to low rows).

By you referring to them as "rear traps" (there are no front traps, even though you can see them from the front if they are at all developed) I get the feel that you are not all that experienced at this. Shrugs and conventional deadlifts are the excercises you want to hammer. Genetics are a factor... Some people get good trap development from overhead pressing and upright rows. Mine only respond to heavy weight. For now, I think you need to get your suggestions in the training section, not the anabolic section.

Do some behind the back barbell shrugs on the smith machine. I used to do 100 reps with 135lbs on the bar and my traps literally exploded in size.

Woe woe woe..... I am very experienced, I fatfingured my topic as it was very late at night. I have been working out for over 10 years now. The part I am refering to is the middle part of the trap that you can only see if you were looking at someones back. I have done all the above mentioned (with an exception to rear shrugs for sets of 100, which I might try) I am resorting to the above stated oil aas enhancement as none of these training methods have worked for me and I was wondering if there are too many nerves running through your back to site inject there. I know I have a very hard time shooting my legs as I seem to always hit a nerve, I still do but in your back I would imagine that there are alot of nerves? Has anyone shot AAS in there traps before?

I would work out traps on shoulder days and one exercise that hits the spot your talking about would be slow shrugs flexing the traps at the bottom of the shrug holding for 3 seconds then shrugging upwards holding it at the top for 3 seconds as well and do this for 3 sets failure each time, just something I adapted and has worked very well

I train traps on back day, when doing back I do all my pull movements in the same day. I will go ahead and give it a shot, literaly. lol Thanks for your help and I will keep you posted. Ecto

I would suggest adjusting your training before resorting to oil. Oil just doesn't look natural IMO. You never said how many sets or movements you do for traps..You could be overtraining or under training. I myself am working on bringing up my traps and I find that doing partial deadlifts supersetted with db shrugs work really well.

I do traps once a week barbell shrugs 495lbs 10 reps 5 sets rest and grpw

Won't happen.

The part I am refering to is the middle part of the trap that you can only see if you were looking at someones back.

Mid Traps

Again, wide grip rows - pull to your mid chest and retract your scapula.
This rules out the cable row handle and usually the T-bar. Best bet is heavy bent barbell rows with hands over shoulder width and pull to the chest.

Try these first - they are not common excercises and may shock the area you are referring to into growth.

2. I had a link for this one but I can't find it - it goes like this...

Place an incline bench in the 45 degree angle setting. Lying face down on the bench, perform shrugs with "heavy" dumbells, contracting the shoulder blades together as tightly as possible. This excercise has a very limited range of motion but it hits a group of muscles that are rarely focused on and really improves mid-trap definition.
