When someone thinks about bodybuilding, biceps are normally what comes to mind. When they think about being lean, the popular muscle group associated with that is abs. If you see someone who either flexes into a most-muscular pose, or just walks around with well-developed trap muscles, the overwhelming thought is of power. If someone has big traps, they likely enjoy taking time out of their day to manhandle iron.

That’s why these four Mr. Olympia winners have shared their advice on how they created their trapezius masterpieces.
