Unless you’re training to compete in bodybuilding events, trap exercises aren’t totally imperative. It may be worth it to strengthen the trapezius muscle anyway though, given the muscle’s primary role. Activities like lifting, pulling, and carrying heavy weights become easier if your traps are strong. Plus, your traps assist in neck movement, and you’re very likely to be moving your neck around for the rest of your life, regardless of your current fitness level or athletic abilities.
