IF YOU WANT A SLEEPER

Mid traps workout. This is the sleeper build muscle, the one that makes your t-shirt hang wide while you're standing still doing nothing. You can't see mid traps in a mirror. That's exactly why nobody trains them, and it's exactly why they work. Run this test first. Stand up, let your arms hang dead, look at your hands in the mirror. If your palms face backward and you're looking at the backs of your hands, your shoulders have already rolled forward. Years of pressing dragged them there and your shirt has been collapsing inward ever since. Width isn't only muscle. It's where your collarbones are parked. Mid traps are the cable that holds that frame open. Load them heavy enough and they pin your shoulder blades flat against your ribs all day, not just during the set. Shoulders sit back, shirt drapes straight down off the outer edge of your delts, and you get read as wide from twenty feet away before you've said a word. There's a strength side too. A chest that's folded forward leaks force on every press you own. The movement, before your next pull day: 1️⃣ Chest flat on a 30 degree incline bench, dumbbells hanging straight down 2️⃣ Drive your elbows high and wide, level with your shoulders, never toward your waist 3️⃣ Hold two full seconds at the top and squeeze the blades until it nearly cramps 3 sets of 12 to 15, first movement of the session while you're fresh. Twice a week. This is a posture muscle, so it responds to frequency more than it responds to load. Two checks while you run it. Feel it in your biceps and you're pulling with your hands, so let the elbows lead. Feel it in your upper traps instead of between the blades and your elbows have drifted too high, drop them an inch. Save this and run the palm test tonight in a t-shirt 👇 Which muscle do you want broken down next?
