I do lying lateral raises because I find it impossible to progress with just standing lateral raises, I do occasionally include them, however a thing is that I also feel a lot of traps when I am doing them (the lying version), so how can I minimize it? The cable machine at my gym has 5kg increments which is excessive for this purpose, and I currently can’t use them. So is there way to reduce my trap activity?
Also I follow PHAT, that means I do back on one day, and proceed with legs on the next day, however I also feel a lot of trap activation in my RDL’s, will this lead to overtraining my traps since all days now in my split use the traps in some kind of way (U,L,R,P,P,L)
Actually now that I think about it, I can probably put a 2.5kg Dumbell on it
