The traps are one muscle that can make a huge visual impact on your physique.
Just compare someone with well-developed traps to someone with underdeveloped traps. The lack of trap development will make the individual appear less muscular and in some cases even far less masculine.
Now most guys will hear “traps” and immediately assume that the solution is heavy shrugs. And although they are a viable option, doing shrugs exclusively is a sure-fire way to neglect your other trap muscles.
In this video, I share the top 5 exercises for building bigger upper, middle, and lower traps.

Beauty Tips And Tricks To Last Through Your Busy Day
Do you feel like you’re not doing all that you can to look your best? Would you like to come up with a better beauty routine, but don’t know where to start? In this article, you’ll find some essential beauty advice that will help you figure out where to go next!
Apply a few tablespoons of sweet almond oil to your warm bath for a relaxing treat that will leave even the roughest, driest skin feeling supple and soft. You can also apply it sparingly to extremely dry and damaged hair – but only on the inch or so above the ends.
You want to keep your skin moisturized during the winter so that it stays fresh, and selecting one with a warm gold or pink tone will give you a healthy glow. Get that glowing, radiant effect by using a sponge to apply cosmetics to your brown bones and cheeks. Don’t add too much, if you do, it can make you look too shiny.
Use hair products that are activated by heat when styling your hair using an iron or other heat tool. Dry hair and split ends can result from using these styling tools daily. Heat-activated products are properly formulated to help your hair stand up to heat treatments, and they improve the texture and shine of your hair, too.
Your makeup application will be more successful if you invest in a set of high quality makeup brushes. Although brushes can sometimes be very costly, they can dramatically improve the way your makeup is applied. Look for sales at a local beauty supply store if you have limited funds.
To get softer and sexier lips use a honey scrub! Take 3 drops of honey, and mix it with half a teaspoon of sugar. Apply the mixture liberally to your lips, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. When you wash it off, you’ll find your lips have gotten softer and may even look fuller.
If your favorite color nail polish is getting empty and a bit tacky, add a few drops of nail polish remover to give it new life! You don’t have to throw away a half empty bottle of nail lacquer, just mix in a small amount of regular remover, shake well and your old polish will work like new again.
Beauty is the combining of many factors into a single appearance. Skin care goes a very long way in looking beautiful. Some people ignore their skin, especially men. If men paid some attention to skin care, they would be surprised at the result. Their appearance would improve and their overall outlook would change.
By taking 10 minutes a week to care for your nails it will help your appearance greatly. This is especially true for men, who very often neglect their nails and cuticles. A little regular maintenance results in much-improved hands. At the very least, nails should be cleaned thoroughly; they should be moisturized; and the cuticles should be gently pushed back.
This simple tip will help you improve your looks right away. A uni-brow is never attractive, so practice good brow hygiene. If they grow together, trim them in the middle, or if they are bushy, keep them trimmed down. It will improve your looks immeasurably.
If you find that your feet are dry and scaly looking and feeling, try using a petroleum jelly product to treat them. Apply a generous amount on your feet and cover them with thick socks at night before you go to bed. Your feet will absorb the moisture out of the petroleum jelly and will quickly look and feel much better.
Spray mist over your face after you have your makeup applied. It will set the makeup and keep it where it should be much longer. This is a great method to use when you have a long day ahead of you like if it is your wedding day or you have a night out after work planned.
Tint your eyebrows. You can use an eye pencil to do this or visit a salon for permanent tinting. That will define your eyes and face and you will look younger and more alert.
Eyeshadows can be tricky for eyes over 40. Metallic, glittery shadows are beautiful, but eyelid skin develops tiny folds which are, unfortunately, accentuated by those gorgeous metallic colors. On the other hand, some matte shadows look too flat and dry, and do not flatter the eye either. Instead, look for shadows that are neither matte nor metallic: “quietly lustrous” should be the goal.
Keep a small tube of hand cream in your purse to use as a hair tamer on a bad hair day. In the summer, use a tiny amount of hand cream, and run it through your hair; the tips of your fingers will tame the frizz. In the winter, put a dime-size amount of hand cream on your hands, and smooth it over your hair to eliminate static.
If you have ever gotten that perfect hairstyle, and decided to use hairspray to keep it that way, you have undoubtedly gotten that helmet look. A way to combat this is to spray the hairspray onto the brush, and run it through the hair from the roots to the tips. This will result in a hold with volume and shine, and without the plastered look.
If you have woken up with splotchy, irritated or puffy skin, then look to tea bags for a cure. No, not for drinking in this case, but to dab on the problem areas. Use a tea bag of green tea that has been steeped for a minute or two and cooled. You then dab it on your face, and let the natural antioxidants in the tea reduce the inflammation.
Adding to your beauty isn’t as complex or unreachable as it may seem! Now that you’ve read this article, you know all sorts of things you can do that will greatly improve your appearance. With just a little bit of extra time and effort, you can get some truly incredible results. What are you waiting for?
