The traps are among the most visible muscles
of the back... having a thick set
of traps
bulging out from the neck
of a T -
shirt is like a badge
of honor among serious trainers!
Some
of these are only implicit; during the film's big softball - game set - piece, I was staring dumbly at the screen, trying to figure
out if the guys in tight,
bulging shorts and / or cut - off, midriff - baring T -
shirts were being subtly coded as gay, or if those outfits were simply part
of the tough - guy fashion repertoire
of the time.
