Trapezius out of control?!

[azurelumen]

For some reason my trapezius muscles are gaining size much faster than any of the other muscles in the area. I'm not liking how it looks from the side view. It almost makes my posture look bad, like I'm huntching over. I have a vver varied routine, so I'm not sure what the problem is...I do shoulder shrugs and a series of different isolating rows, as well as shoulder work that might be doing this...like 5 variations of barbell raises.

Maybe I should STOP doing certain excercises until the rest of me catches up? i dunno...but it's really weird. Could also be genetics...but I'd like to think I can isolate this...

Any suggestions?

I have the exact same issue..my traps seem to grow way faster than anything else, and I'm not loving the look all that much.

I dropped shrugs..(yay! no more "giving birth to full grown hippopotamus face") hopefully they'll calm down.

I think this might be a common thing.. i see it on a lot of women at the gym

Two options.. use your 6000th post to announce our pending mud wrestling soiree or drop the weight by 40% and up the reps to 25 in quick-rep 1-0-1 tempo shrugfest. The former is prefered, but the latter will make you more like a neadrafuck than ever before in your life.

For me, it's just a lack of big-ness everywhere else.. so it looks goofy now.. but later, when I'm a monster, they'll fit right in.
