The trapezius starts right below the skull, runs down the neck and across the shoulders, and then continues down the spine in a “V” shape.
The trapezius works to stabilize your shoulders and upper
back. Bodybuilding may not be for you, but to maintain good
posture and avoid back pain, it’s
important to keep the trapezius strong(1).
Deltoid [del·toyd] n. is a large, triangular muscle covering
the joint of the shoulder, the action of which raises the arm away from the
side of the body.
The deltoid muscle is a muscle that is shaped like an inverted triangle at the shoulder area (it gives your shoulder a round appearance). Unlike other muscles that usually produce one type of movement, the deltoid, due to its shape and direction of its muscle fibers is responsible for several actions of the arm:
