Your’re all right but surely it just depends on the individual i.e if a person is injured or lat and tricep dominate then subtle low load movements will work the stabiliser more than if the movers are loaded up…. then slowly load up.

Mr. Lots of Acronyms. Both lats and dips will recruit the lower traps, not as the primary mover but as stabilizers. At the bottom of a lat pull and the top of a dip the pec minor and lower traps will stabilize the scapula in the downward position. The exercise you recommended is just a modified lat pull.

Pullups recruit what muscle? Lat’s..
Dips recruit what muscle? Triceps

Check the above answer bryant as the exercises you mentioned do not target the low traps biomechanically.

Lower Trap?

Id say for strengthening- pullups or dips would be best. If a client cant do those, lat pulldowns or dips from a chair would be best.

If you’re talking about a client with a past injury, your above answer sounds pretty on the mark.
