Traps Are the New Abs

Home » Blog » Traps Are the New Abs

November 21, 2017 //  by Parisi School

Monster traps are in, and its because, like shoulders, they are instantly noticeable when they are developed.  Traps aren’t all for show, they can help the body function as well. Traps help in raising the shoulder girdle, they aid in most pulling exercises, and even help balance loads. They help increase your stability which will help in other areas of lifting or athletics. Shoulder stability is an element that can benefit the majority of athletes, so it’s important to make time to focus on trap development. Traps can also help you if you play a sport where you throw a ball or shoot a puck. Specifically hockey players, because stick-handling, passing, and shooting all work muscles that start with the hands and wrist, and moves up to the shoulders and traps.

The traps can also play a key role in injury prevention. Strong traps can help absorb blows to the shoulder area, and secure the neck during contact, reducing the potential for neck injuries.
