Trapezius Exercises For Men And Women

[jm6265]

Hey can you post more videos focusing on the trap muscles? This is a muscle I am targeting to build and thanks I appreciate it.

[mininick0001]

dat ace

[BDeeX]

DAT ASS and the blooper was pretty funny

[skidrowsux1977]

5:42 thank you for getting a better angle.

[KevinWood44]

Girl doin the shrugs is sexy!!

[Z3RO458]

Do I have to make the faces for it to work? Jk lol

[MrPugepuge]

lee, i started working out since last week. i admire your body but im not a body builder, i dont want to bulk as bulk as you. what i want is athletic figure, or like the MMA fighters. if i follow your work out on triceps,bicep,chest and traps, can i achieve what i want? do i need more cardio? please help.im confused.

[leemhayward]

@MrPugepuge

I've got a good basic beginners workout program that you can follow. Just go to my YouTube Channel and search through my most recent videos.

[TheYaom]

I am a girl and I work at an office, so my upper trapezius is CONSTANTLY SORE, TENSE, IN PAIN.... I have knots; do you think exercising my trapezius can help me get rid of this pain? Thanks

[leemhayward]

@TheYaom

I'd recommend working all your major muscle groups, not just the traps. But to answer your question, YES regular strength training exercise will help with the pain you are feeling.

[AMPepin1992]

It is impossible not to make faces when doing shrugs. lol

[lykeomg2themax1]

lol that was funny haha great reccomendations - glad you show a male/female exercise pointing out differences. Keep it up!

[Yahooyitmy]

Lee-Does it matter which trap exercise you do? If you do dumbbells or the calf builder it is the same movement so why do them both? Also how many reps and sets do you do for your routine? Do you include these on back day or on shoulder day?

[fmg420]

DAT ASS

[carloskunx3]

yeahh los cabos

[champmaster123]

ummm culdd yu do thiss with dumbbells

[leemhayward]

@champmaster123

Yes, you can use dumbbells instead.

[TheFineolase]

@leemhayward lee, guys at my gym say to roll your shoulders when doing shrugs, like roll them foward for 10 reps, and then the oppositedirection for 10 reps, is this good?

[leemhayward]

@TheFineolase

It's ok to warm up your shoulders by rolling them. But when lifting heavy weights just shrug up and down.

[chrysillo]

@TheKristalMethod LMAO!

[MusicInfected]

i would do some variation with my dick in her ass...

[MissBasureando]

She´s hot! Congrats lucky guy.

[ImpactCrowley]

What an arse!

[MissBasureando]

@ImpactCrowley You´re so fucking right man!

[WUDJABEABLE]

Its a beautiful day!

[mitnahbitnah]

I know this may be stupid, but what is a good shrug weight using your routine so my traps don't get to big, big but not very big so they stay moderate....sorrry for bad english

[leemhayward]

@mitnahbitnah

Trust me you'll never get "Too Big". The risk of building too much muscle is about the same as making too much money, it just aint going to happen. And if you were so lucky as to build too much muscle, just stop training and you'll lose it again :-)

[NotYourAverageJoe321]

@TheKristalMethod id still like to give her a go(;

[MrGhaz12345]

that chicks gota big ass!! ghetto booty!! lol.

[Liamjonesjr02]

@MrGhaz12345 id tap that

[andreww1212]

@TheKristalMethod The way I like it.

[Konvicted17]

nice ass girl !!

[seanhive]

Boy she ain't got no "junk" in that trunk. That's a fine ass. Fine fine specimen

[panicrev555]

I wouldn't use "junk" in the same reference to that trunk. If only all asses were created as beautifully...

[Element27]

@TheKristalMethod Is that a challenge?

[ThePeachy2smile]

hahaahahah nice teeth on the first exercise

[TheYaom]

I suffer from upper trapezius pain, I read these exercises would help, but I was told that my right side is weaker than the left.... should I do an extra repetition on the right just to even it out?

also.... these exercises can help with over two years of muscle trapezius pain?

[FOREST857]

i also have trouble with barbell shrugs from behind so i use cables, take a few steps forward which really puts the emphasis on the traps, although i am limited o the weight, you can really load the barbell up put with the cables the machine only goes up to 60kg each side so 120kg in total...

[FOREST857]

I use the calf machine for Traps, i think its fantastic but i do get some strange looks from people as they think i'm using it wrong but i can say it is great for traps

[dq303]

i do so many traps work outs.. and my shits dnt grow!!

[immrosorio]

ok.. now, im gonna exercise :B!!!!!!!!

[luring111]

:)))))))))))



[RolsonCastin]

Start working out the weak arm first then use same wieghts and same reps on the stronger arm. That way the weaker arm well catch up to the stronger arm.

[ricojudo]

she has a nice ass!

[WAYCFs]

I've just discovered that my left trapezius is bigger than my right and my right chest is bigger than my left. I have tried to do these exercises for just the right trapezius, but it feels like my right chest is also practiced. And I dont want that because I try to even up my muscles. Some tips on how to fix this the best way?

[TheRobot158]

Lol @ his face when he's working out XD

[pablopick]

Excellent trap workout, Lee. The calf machine and rope are two belting tips!

Thanks a bunch.

:)

[jeremydossey]

I have one trap bigger on one side anyone know what I can do to get as big as the othe fast & still work on the other one at the same time?

[DirtyDubstepSoldier]

@jeremydossey im guessing u can do one arm dumbell shrugs with watber side so u can work on ur weaker traps

[DirtyDubstepSoldier]

@jeremydossey im guessing u can do one arm dumbell shrugs with watber side so u can work on ur weaker traps

[somthingiwontforget]

That woman is a beast

[SouthSaugaRipper]

[lilwayneencore]

[ballackbeckham]

[tunisianbadboy]

[Bess2k2]

[danijelljuboja]

[Murder0redruM]

[Frostheartxxx]

Thanks now i can have a bigger muscle

[budgethuddie]

Another great video Lee' I learn a lot from your postings and you explain everything in detail and are always easy to follow' Great work buddy..

[Murder0redruM]

@cameronsaboss youre one of those basement dwelling virgins who think all women should look a certain way that fits with your idea of an "ideal" female. what you fail to realize is porn actresses on a computer screen look different than real women in real life. thank jebus youre forever alone and wont contribute to the gene pool.

[caledfwlch]

my god... look at the lat taper on patricia

[Murder0redruM]

@cameronsaboss the individual gets to decide how buff is too buff for themselves, not nerdy internet virgins like yourself.

[UnrealVirusInfection]

HAHA at 1:30 when you do the work out it kind of reminds me of Lloyd from dumb and dumber

[DaveWBedford]

Blimey, Trish has the best bum I have ever seen. What a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the tips btw.

[MrLwright86]

God shes hot!

[TheTrackformer]

i hate the trapezius because my injurie dont want to heal since last year.

[tiffcahba]

i like this video because the got a nice tight booty

[UZI9MMAUTO]

Im having a hard time getting the correct form.. My shoulders are developed a bit ahead where it absorbs a major part of what my Traps should be getting.. My Range of that motion seems shorter than it should be.. When I try to adjust it make smy neck crack and get pushed/pulled hard.. Im at 2:39 and Im goin to watch the rest..ty

[TheYaom]

I am 34, male, slightly overweight (15 lbs or so)...

LOTS of daily constant trapezius, neck, mid back, neck tightness (they did an mri and I am ok), so is muscle related (computer, sedentary lifestyle etc). do you think these exercises will help me? I started doing them and the next day my trapezius hurted even more.... but I did feel relief right after I finished doing them.

Do u recommend this to me?

thanks in advance!

[RippednNTan]

Dear LeeHayward, I think your girlfriend would look hotter with longer hair.

[stylezNout]

i cant do it either

[slasher326]

can i do this even if im young...

[021x]

She Has a very nice and very hot ASS.... Im getting hard here. :D



[VCWProductions1]

Lee was this 1 workout or were you just showing a variety of exercises for the traps, if this was 1 workout would it be considered overtraining bc of all the shrugs?

[DontTreadOnMe888]

Man, these people have bizarre accents: "Another exer-soy-ze you can try" ... Thanks for the work-out tips... That woman's ass makes me HUNGRY!!! What a hawtie!!!

[VCWProductions1]

@DontTreadOnMe888 they're from Newfoundland the best place to live

[TheRantingRedhead]

I have HORRIBLE pain in my trapezius from a few years of office work, ages of bad posture, and awkward sleeping positions...would this help alleviate the pain I experience daily?

[leemhayward]

@TheRantingRedhead

I think it could certainly help, but if you are not training regularly now I'd suggest checking with a physiotherapist first. They can help you with specific moves for your situation.

[gdragon9410]

@TheRantingRedhead i already saw my doc for the same thing.... plus fibromyalgia and my traps are weak as hell which is why im always in pain. Excerising is the best medicine :] everytime i work out i feel a million times better. I hope you feel better ;]

[TheRantingRedhead]

@gdragon9410 Thank you. That's very kind. So far, plank pose on my elbows seems to have helped, but still hasn't made it go away. I have no insurance, or I'd just talk to a doc or work with a physical therapist.

[UZI9MMAUTO]

@TheRantingRedhead WHy do people let themselves GO soooo Long?! Anytime I go and had a Physical problem..The gym and rest was 1st..!! I dont understand this. My Uncle pushed himself to the point at work where he whines all of the time. My back, My Leg, My foot..OMFG! STFU! Yet- he has every exscuse in the world not to go to the gym.. I dont to want to EVER hear your in pain when you can or could of fixed it.. SO, rant did you WAIT too long too? Just wondering?

[TheRantingRedhead]

@UZI9MMAUTO It's a number of things. First, it's just a little pain once in a while so, we don't bother with it until it becomes unmanageable. In my case, that is exactly what happened. Adding to the problem, I'm uninsured and currently, I'm unemployed. I've been going to the gym regularly for years, but traps are a muscle group I never really focused on.  I can't really speak for what is in anyone else's hearts. Some people have deep, emotional, reasons for not taking care of themselves.

[TheRantingRedhead]

@UZI9MMAUTO People that can't/won't help themselves can be frustrating, but again, if they are mentally ill in some way (which is extremely common for people that don't take care of their bodies), there is little anyone can do short of psychotherapy, the suggestion of which they always decline. These people often feel they don't deserve to be happy or healthy, so they wait until their pain is literally unbearable. It's like the age old question, why does a woman stay with a man who beats her?

[UZI9MMAUTO]

@TheRantingRedhead and if your nice she's leaves you- I know-LOL

[UZI9MMAUTO]

@TheRantingRedhead Its been up and down for years. It was very confusing growing up- as HE was the adult and my shit was more together than his. I now know its clearly the case. Its a Self-pity attention getting traits he has. I was in the living room one day and he didnt know it. He ran in there like nothing was physically wrong as SOON as he saw me- He pulled off this HUGE limp again.. WHat gets me soo pissed is= he was so DAM OBVIOUS about it.. (Which is actually like lying)

[TheRantingRedhead]

@UZI9MMAUTO My advice is, if you're dealing with such a person, do your best to be loving and kind. They probably won't ever change and if they do, it won't be because of your influence. It will be because they somehow came to the realization on their own.

[UZI9MMAUTO]

@TheRantingRedhead I hear you- its actually sad causes he's VERY Stubborn.. What makes this worse is hes now 56 and hasn't come to that realization. Its affecting his health in major ways. (well its GOING to) Just 2 days ago- he said pain doesnt "bother" him "I can deal with that he said"... So, long story short. He was being a fool and throwing himself around. Hurt himself and threw stuff and yelled "Im sick of this pain! umm I dont know how to handle two faced answers like that. WHICH IS IT?!

[Reinos995]

What a women of a beast :D

[Masterrayray305]

[jericodipon]

[Chamomileable]

please don't rotate your shoulders when you shrug. it can cause tearing, or worse, Also, Trish could kick my ass.

[Chamomileable]

please don't rotate your shoulders when you shrug. it can cause tearing, or worse, of the rotator cuff

[RioKing26]

We need more "blooper" vids like that ;)

[Gsmooth131]

[leru5]

@ImOuttaBedShutUpNow lol i no right

[Schwartzy15]

Buddy seriously has the goofiest face ever while lifting.

Good video, though.

[cutie124u]

i'm trying to lose upper back fat this is for that right??

[leemhayward]

@cutie124u

These exercises are good for building muscle, but to lose fat you need to focus on diet and cardio in addition to weight training workouts like these.

[Jallandhara]

@cutie124u No. Spot fat reduction doesn't exist. As the uploader said, focus on nutrition to lower your body fat.

[Ragamuffyn]

@cutie124u If you have a lot of upper back fat check your cortisol levels as it could be a symptom of Cushings syndrome.

[A7Xshredster]

@cutie124u cant reduce fat in just one area, it all comes off evenly last place is around the tummy for guys and the waist for women

[Adeyemi777]

i like his face at 1:30

[TheLegend313]

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ANYBODY ELSE THINK THIS LOOKS LIKE STEVE-O FROM JACKASS ON ROIDS?!?!? LOL!

[target946]

la amiga es en hombre!! ayyayayaya adios meios!

[asrsniperx]

Hey lee just wondering if you could have Trish do a vid that accurately demonstrates proper form and technique on lunges. Thanks a lot. Canada here to btw ;)

[leemhayward]

@asrsniperx

Just search for "Killer Leg Workout Routine For Both Men & Women" we both train legs in that video and lunges are one of the exercises we do.

[pengbeast69]

i'm no bodybuilder, but i train a lot for rugby, and have been asked if i am on steroids a few times (i'm 100% natural). the thing to do to get huge traps is powercleans followed by a drop set x4. of course, u cannot immerse yourself right into the deep end and will have to build up basic strength before commencing to use cleans. now, healthy diet, 5 meals a day, protein, train your traps in a compound exercise twice a week, with progressive overloading; et viola, big traps, very satisfying.

[jimbob202019]

she has amazing junk in her trunk :) ... great vids as always

[dragonsomeballz]

Hey Lee, I am really trying to build up my traps and this video helps alot but how often in a week and how many reps/sets should I do shrugs and rows for?

Thanks

[bcfcjc]

Hi Lee, I'm not trying to get massive, just build a bit of muscle. Is it imperative I still drink whey protein shakes and other supplements?

[leemhayward]

@bcfcjc

Yes, proper nutrition is critical for getting in shape. And that includes consuming a high protein diet.

[munukusama]

@leemhayward i see, but often nutritionists tell us to keep the carbs, protein, and vitamin pyramid triangular upward. I understand that to build muscle one needs to consume protein but (being a well into weight training) what would you advise one eats? can you give a more comprehensive breakdown, say, a daily diet plan for beginner?

[leemhayward]

@munukusama

Go to my website LeeHayward*com and sign up for my free muscle building tips e-mail course. Part of that course includes an e-book about nutrition.

[DeeDank]

Trish is one of the sexiest girls ive seen in any workout type videos, you sir are a lucky man.

anyways im a skinny guy and i only have 20lb dumbbells at the moment and i need some tips for each muscle group of my upper body.

[TheEemmaannueell]

you guys think hes hitting it lmao hahahaha NNNAAA!!!! hahahahaahh nice ass though hahahah

[leemhayward]

@TheEemmaannueell

Of course I am... She's my girlfriend :-)

[munukusama]

@leemhayward any tips for trapezius workout? i read somewhere that 'upright rows' are not too good for the arm, how true is this?

[AuntJemima200]

that ass is hungry, its just munching them tights in their........i bet they taste great

[Dumbjackass]

Cool guy, great video with a little humour too :D

Definate subscription :)

Thanks!

[TheSouthy706]

I believe another variation of the rope upright row would be low row pulley to neck am i correct? I use that exercise alot when i work out traps.

[Body4Life21]

Hey great bid, I needed some variation in my trapezius workouts and I'm looking forward to the rope upright, I used to do it with an EZ bar but that still wasn't effective at reducing the strain on my wrists but rope looks like it fits my needs..... By the way you look like Van Damm lol I love his movies

[xFuJai]
