The trapezius muscle is a large muscle that crosses the shoulders and extends from the base of the skull to the middle of the back. It is essential for shoulder mobility, stability, and posture in general.

The trapezius muscle consists of three parts: the upper, middle, and lower fibers. The upper fibers connect to the base of the skull and help elevate shoulder blades and shrugging. The middle fibers  contribute to scapular retraction and adduction, while the lower fibers  are primarily responsible for scapular depression and outward rotation. Excessive development or hypertrophy of the trapezius muscle can result in a broad or bulky appearance of the shoulders.

Note:
Trapezius muscle hypertrophy, also known as the expansion and growth of the individual muscular fibers inside the trapezius muscle, is the term used to describe the increase in size and growth of the trapezius muscles. This can be caused by a number of reasons, such as specific resistance training routines, progressive overload and diet.
