TRAPEZIUS

• A large superficial MUSCLE that extends longitudinally from the OCCIPITAL BONE to the lower THORACIC VERTEBRAE and laterally to the spine of the SCAPULA (shoulder blade)

Functionsstabilize and move the scapulae, and support the arm

Exercises

• The upper portion of the trapezius can be developed by elevating the shoulders. Common exercises for this movement are any version of the clean, particularly the hang clean.

• Middle fibers are developed by pulling shoulder blades together. This adduction also uses the upper/lower fibers too.

• The lower part can be developed by drawing the shoulder blades downward while keeping the arms almost straight and stiff.
