    my traps?

    they have always been big looking in comparison to rest of body naturally, and ive always had a thick neck.

    i think they are ugly and make my lats look smaller what u think?

    hey cmon i posted here for fast feedback. not enough of a detaield question ect to post in members pics. my traps always been really big since i was teenager. they are thick like my neck and strong. guess i should be happy. but i guess its more of im unhappy with my shoulders. prolly my bigest weakness in my appearance in a tshirt not looking overly muscular.

    umm how do i tell if i got wide shoulders or not? like u can tell when somone has huge or tiny. but i think mine are medium. or little more then average

    were not bashing you...

    The picture u posted is most a muscular/chest shot.. not a lat shot..

    Therefore your title should be how is my chest?


    your lats can't be seen in the picture... so do a lat spread.

    your traps really don't seem that big so you don't need to worry. but originally you said they made your lats look small and perhaps that is true, so show a pic allowing us to compare them.

    ya i know, i was half kidding. not like you have to be as big as carlos to have big traps. i just dont see how foska thinks he has big traps.

    Hey bro I see what ya mean. I think you need to work out your shoulders more and maybe your traps less.

    IMO When traps are bigger proportionately than rest of body it looks ugly. IMO

    I have not been working out for very long but my biceps are to small next to my triceps. Because of this I devote one day a week entirely on biceps. It is working.

    IMO trap size should be the most monitored body muscle because if they are to big you look ridicules. IMO

    If I were you I would give the traps a break and hammer those shoulders!!

    Take care bro! Keep up the good work!

    I think you should cut off everything from your shoulders up & start over

    I don't think it's a matter of you having big traps or a thick neck...I think it's a matter of you having small chest/shoulders/arms.

    Yeah right...I think you're looking at the cm markings.

    Obviously your guns ain't 15 inches of muscle. Looks like you've still got some babyfat on your massive pythons. But hey, keep dreaming!

    use your dislike of big traps to bring up everything else to match.

    I was merely correcting is previous statement, and I'm high 12% BF.

    How long have you been training? I think my traps are too large in comparrison to my body as well. just dont work them out directly and you will grow into them.

    Good luck

    Merry Christmas

    Lol now you see what its like to be bashed fosk. Thats why you should not have bashed me because it all comes back on you 10 fold. I am not gonna bash you though. Keep working on you upper body, they will tell you when you have something to be proud of.
