I'm thinking it is the lower traps but I am not sure.

For example, if you coudl find a bench that was high enough, you could lay on your stomach and hold DBs in your hand and push your shoulders back...like a horizontal shrug. That would be a cool exercise.
 
not a new exercise, but if anything, it would be your "upper" traps pulling the weight up (as far as i know, there aren't sections of the trapezius muscles)

if you mean pulling your shoulder blades together, i'd imagine the rhomboids would be hit as well.

Yeah, the traps are split into 3 sections.
 
That's an exercise my pt had me due when I had shoulder surgery. The other is reverse flys. Always pinch your blades together at full contraction.
 
I just thought, if your gym has a seated row machine, you could just sort of pinch your blades together while keeping your arms straight, that woudl isolate your rhomboids/lower traps.
 
You work the rhomboid and mid- and lower-traps during most back movements...any time you squeeze your shoulder blades together. Whether or not your arm bends at the elbow has nothing to do with it.

I would agree and say that is true for some of us, but not everyone understands how to get the full motion out of the scapulas.... I see lots of people basically doing curl variations in various back movements...

I think sometimes in learning to pull the shoulder blades stuff like this can be very useful, or if you want to take bi's out of the equation...

Similar can be done with "straight armed pullups" - concentrating on the scapular part (bottom portion) of the movement only...

yeah...You're right...too many people don't know how to work their backs...but I'm assuming everyone here does. Alot of people try to use too much weight, as opposed to concentrating on working the muscles...very counter-productive.

Fuck you in the face, sir.

Of course I have heard that the spontaneous back spasms that occur while homosexual males get railed from behind work pretty well too.... so you always have that to look forward to...
 
Ditto Bdog and Becoming. My gf has a pretty developed back and she has no scapular movement. She needs to get the hunch out of her shoulders. If I put my finger on her spine and tell her to pinch it, she can't.

I'm talking about fucking you in the face! Though I'm sure your back muscles would spasm if I fucked you from behind, which I have no interest in doing.

Or are you one of those guys who shaves their butts and walks around backwards? Which would be kind of awkward. So I'm just going to retract my comment.

Thank you and good day.

BTW I just did some Kelso shrugs on a seated row machine cos my gym has one, just for the fuck of it. It felt good. I'll report back on the location of any soreness (if any) if you assbags keep this thread on topic.

totally dude, nothing new- just like doing the straight arm pullups to concentrate on the scapular movement.... just a way of concentrating on what you want to hit...
