I would like to share with you guys the following excercises i beleive are crucial to your trap workouts. The trapezius muscle group is located in the upper middle section of your back. It has many purposes but the most visible region of this muscle is from the neck to on top of the shoulder providing support for your arm.

One of the ultimate excercises for your trap workouts should be the Deadlift. Although a deadlift only provides a short range of motion on the trapezius, it is a massive stabilizer. Your shoulders would be ripped out of their sockets during the immense loads of a deadlift if they were not being worked. Have you ever seen a powerlifter with tiny traps?

How has working out changed you mentally & physically, Do you feel like a different person?

Everyone wants a better physique and everyone has the motivation to go to the gym and stick to a diet on a good day, but its the people who can stick to this regime on the bad days that get the physique they desire. If you can do this then you will be mentally set for any challenge. This is how I now feel.
