How to eliminate trapezius muscle

The trapezius muscle is a triangular shaped muscle located in our back that connects the shoulder girdle bones to the base of the skull and vertebrae. Some trapezius muscles appear through fitness training, while others are naturally obvious. If this part becomes prominent in the summer, it will look very ugly. Therefore, for women who love beauty, the method of elimination becomes the most concerned thing. So, how to eliminate the trapezius muscle? Let’s take a look below.

How to make the trapezius muscle smaller

The trapezius muscle is well developed mainly because of lifting heavy objects, so it is very difficult to reduce it. However, I personally recommend that if conditions permit, you can do light weight training to lengthen the trapezius muscle lines, which will improve the condition.

If your trapezius muscles are too large, you should first avoid trapezius muscle training and exercises involving other muscle groups such as deadlifts, barbells, dumbbell rowing, etc. Secondly, you should focus on developing your shoulder muscles, which can make your shoulders look broader and your trapezius muscles appear less prominent.

How to eliminate the trapezius muscle

1. Shoulder shrug training: not too light, and not too heavy. A reasonable weight should be one that allows you to complete the entire movement strictly as required, that is, bring your shoulders as close to your ears as possible, hold for a while, and do not bend your elbows. Then, both shoulders drop to the lowest point at the same time. The whole movement can be repeated 10-12 times.

2. Head Circle: Circle your head 360 degrees to the left, circle 10 times in a row, pause for a moment, then circle 360 ​​degrees to the right, circle 10 times in a row. Pay attention to being gentle and not too forceful when circling. Be sure to slow down to avoid feeling dizzy. Make the amplitude of the circle as large as possible. Your shoulders should remain still and not rotate with the head.

3. Draw circles forward and backward: Stretch your neck as much as possible, stretch your chin forward and upward, then pull it downward and backward so that the trajectory drawn by the chin forms a circle. Repeat this process 10 times. Then extend your chin forward and downward, then retract it upward and backward, rotating counterclockwise along the circular trajectory just now, and repeat this process 10 times. Pay attention to fully stretching the neck muscles and do not move too fast.

4. Upper trapezius: Stand upright or sit, raise your right arm upwards and bend your elbow, hug your head over the top of your head, then use a little force to move your head to the right to stretch the muscles on the left side of your neck, stay for a moment and then return to the original position. Then switch to your left arm and repeat to the left side. Be careful not to use too much force in your arms to avoid straining your muscles. Perform 5 reps on each side.

How can girls avoid having too big trapezius muscles?

The reason why your trapezius muscles become more and more obvious is definitely related to whether you always hunch your upper body. If you always hunch your upper body, your clavicle will become a V shape, and the straight clavicle is the most beautiful and standard. Therefore, we must be careful not to always hunch our upper body and avoid shrugging our shoulders.

Dumbbell press: At the lowest point, the dumbbells are at the same height as the ears, and at the highest point, the elbows are slightly higher than the ears. The forearms move up and down perpendicular to the ground, the shoulders sink and stretch back at the same time, and the elbows point slightly forward.

Chest relaxation: squeeze your elbows and look up. Although this movement relaxes the chest, it is most obvious in training the shoulder shape. It won't make you shrug, and over time it will help you form a habit of having a good body shape. In fact, most shoulder and back exercises can improve your figure, because shaping your shoulders and back will not make you hunchbacks and fat waists. Changing your body shape is not something that can be achieved overnight. It takes long-term effort and persistence to become what you want.
