Hardest lower trapezius ?

Hi Everybody,

Just out of curiosity i was asking myself wich advanced gymnastics movement places the most stress on the lower trapezius

(Wether it is due to scapular depression demand or upward rotation demand)

For scapular depression, my take would be : iron cross or One arm pull up
For upward rotation , my take would be : l sit press to handstand or one arm handstand (in hollow shape)

Tanks for your input

there are a lot of them...for example all the movement that requires an upper arm support on the parallel bar for the shoulder depression.

for the upward rotation probably the press to handstand.
