Man only training one trap shows off extreme body transformation after passing 300 days

Man only training one trap shows off extreme body transformation after passing 300 days

He's made it to almost a year and the results have been dramatic

A man who has only trained one trap muscle for almost a year continues to show off his incredible body transformation.

This bloke calling himself 'The Crooked Man' has gone viral over the past 300 days for his attempt to push back against one of the most popular trends on TikTok known as 'looksmaxing'.

This is where people do their best to look good and turn their physical appearance up to 11, but in an attempt to go against that this, one guy decided he would work out one muscle in his body over and over again until he produced a decidedly lopsided appearance.

Explaining himself, he said: "Why does the one trap guy work out one trap? It's pretty simple. I was scrolling TikToks in my Ferrari, and I kept getting these looksmaxing TikToks.

"And they were like, 'Do this, do that. You'll look more attractive. You'll get more women', And it's like, people have that problem? I have the opposite problem."

Since he's doing the opposite he calls himself a 'looks minimizer' and says he's been training one trap for days on end to do the opposite of all the people trying to go viral by looking their best.

So for more than 300 days he's just been exercising one side of his body and the physical results have been pretty impressive, at least for that one side.

His torso looks to be in good shape but take one look at the man and you'll see his left arm and shoulder are several magnitudes larger than his right one, which if nothing else is proof that exercise works.

He also shared his daily diet which as you might have guessed contains a f**kload of protein as he eats sardines, goat yoghurt and protein powder before topping it off with a serving of ground beef and eggs.

It's certainly helped the side of his body he's been training.

However, there have been some concerns raised over the long term health impacts of only training one half of the body, as Dr Suhail Hussain previously told LADbible any benefits to what The Crooked Man was doing were likely to be 'outweighed by the risks'.

The doctor said there 'may be some short-term positives' but warned about the 'clear musculoskeletal imbalance this man is developing'.

He warned such an approach could result in 'spinal misalignment, joint strain, compensatory injuries in surrounding muscles and even chronic pain'.

"The body is designed for symmetry and balance, so distorting that through disproportionate hypertrophy risks long-term orthopaedic problems," the doctor said, as he warned there was 'no real functional benefit' to overtraining one muscle in the body.

Here's hoping the guy is staying healthy and doesn't do himself any permanent damage.
