    they are a large and powerful muscle group.. most guys that are just average stregth level can rack pull 405 to hit traps. 315 shrugs are easy as well .. traps are very strong. so to hit those type of numbers every single day is going to cause a lot of fatigue. the STF, stimulus to fatigue ratio is going to be high towards fatigue.
    now granite, you could lightly hit them every day . but you really think such a powerful and large muscle is going to respond that well to being hit "lightly"
    I knew that there are upper, middle and lower traps. I’m only interested in the upper ones. Not sure if training the rest of the traps would help the upper traps grow. Logic tells me it’s best to train the whole thing, what I hope is that just the upper traps will do.

    Train the mid and lower traps to avoid scp winging and other imbalances. A muscle imbalance will lead to injury.

    I read recently, that the raps possess a high number of androgen receptors.
