Best Trapezius Workouts With Garage Gym
About
Garage gyms typically include essential equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, benches, pull-up bars, and squat racks, making them ideal for a variety of exercises.
The trapezius, or traps, is the upper back muscle located between the shoulders and is involved in many back exercises.
Specific exercises, like shrugs, can effectively isolate and target the traps for muscle development.
Workouts aimed at strengthening this region can be efficiently performed using the adaptable tools found in a garage gym.
