Time to get yoked with this excellent science based Delt, Neck and Trap Workout from Jeff Nippard.
Delt, Neck and Trap Workout
“The yoke” refers to the upper traps, upper back, neck, side delts, upper chest and triceps (long head).
In this video we go through a workout designed to maximize development of these muscles.
Delts
The deltoid muscles, or delts, are the groups of muscles capping the shoulder. Each deltoid consists of three distinct muscle groups or heads: the anterior, posterior and lateral deltoids.
These muscles are responsible for working the shoulder joint, moving the arm away from the body in all directions and providing strength and stability to the shoulder.
Neck
Neck muscles help support the cervical spine and contribute to movements of the head, neck, upper back, and shoulders.
Traps
The trapezius is a muscle that starts at the base of your neck, goes across your shoulders and extends to the middle of your back.
The trapezius (traps muscle) helps you move your head, neck, arms, shoulders and torso. It also stabilizes your spine and helps with posture.
