Traps exercises.
9 exercises that put traps first, and the weekly set targets Swole.fit uses to grow them.
How many sets a week for traps?
Swole.fit plans 6 hard sets a week as the point where traps starts to grow, 12 to 16 sets as the sweet spot for most lifters, and 20 as the most you can usually recover from. Indirect work from other lifts is enough to keep what you built. Sets where traps only helps count as half a set.
Compound traps exercises
Multi-joint lifts. Heavier loads, more muscle per set, and the backbone of a plan.
Isolation traps exercises
Single-joint moves. Less fatigue per set, so they fill the gap between growth and the recovery limit.
Lifts where traps helps
Each set of these counts as half a set toward your weekly total.
