traps- everyday or every other day?

[maSSive!]

is it ok to work on traps everyday or better every other day

[OoFaP]

No muscle should be worked everyday.

[_Bladen_]

Its a muscle, just like all your other muscles... Last time I checked muscles need time to heal bud. 2x per week tops.

I do traps with my shoulder workout, and so should you.

Please tell me why are you asking this question? Is it ok to workout chest everyday? No? Same for traps.

[maSSive!]

[SpoofRocket]

No muscle should be worked everyday.

the calves, abs, and forearms can be worked everyday.

[Spo0f]

no more then 1-2x a week.

Good luck

[LMW]

the calves, abs, and forearms can be worked everyday.

no they cant

if you work them everyday, when do they get a chance to repair and grow?

also you dont even need to work your traps, just do deadlifts

yea, you need a training split

[BIG_prom]

no, its mind boggling to ear so many people discussing views on abs and calves. they are not made of a different matterial. they are all the same muscle fibers, do it yates style.

As mentioned above, no muscle should be worked everyday, same for abs and calves.

abs calves and forearms can be worked much more fequently than other muscles. maybe not everyday, but def. every other day is. Believe me.

[j_spurg]

def do shoulders with traps

[ThatArmyKid]

why is everyone here saying no more then 2 times a week... it's a muscle like any other you could work it 3 times a week with no problem

anyone here ever hear of full body 3x a week..

thats true. not everyday but they can be done more frequently. those muscles are built a little differently and respond to higher reps and more work days. you use those muscles a lot during regular day activities so they are built more for endurance. you have to work them a little different. i think even traps are some what in this category. you could probably get away with training traps more than other bodyparts. i wouldnt go over 3 times a week though.

im on a program that hits every body part twice a week so the only thing i train more than that is abs which i do every other day.

What fullbody 3x week you're talking about?

Wow I just read this and realized that I was doing one thing wrong. I was working on my abdominals everyday. It also isn't good to work calves everyday right so whenever I run on a crossramp machine and it targets my thighs and calves is that a good thing or bad thing? I do the crossramp everyday. If not should I do trendmill instead of crossramp since I want to do cardio daily?

[wanabeebig]

I don't train them at all, doing floor deads with 300+ pounds seem to make myne grow better then training them at all.

[NetSyfer]

I do a 5 day split and do traps with back and shoulders with a Hex bar (fantastic vs BB and DB). Also, do lighter deadlift shrugs holds 5x20 following heavy deadlifts.
