you can use the heck out of those big manly traps & lats & everything else, but still have a "quiet upper body". If you watch WC videos, you will see a lot of powerful poling, but not a lot of upper body movement in terms of direction or level changing (weaving & bobbing).

Don't mistake "quiet" with a "passive" or "un-engaged".

I would think this depends on your physique. For the cyclist with a wimpy upper
body, this makes sense. However, if you canoe race all summer and have the
shoulders and back like Paul Bunyan, by golly you're going to use them !
