behind the back shrug vs front shrug

[alex.mclain]

Hi guys, I'm 22 and I'm putting together my own training routine, I need just and advice for my traps and I wonder which exercise out the ones mentioned in the title is the best to make my traps wider, thank you.

something that NOBODY ever does but will blow up your traps are CLEANS

Behind the back does, it seem, isolate them more. But rather than ask just try the movement right now - no weights etc. Arms in front and shrug and arms behind. There's your answer.

Behind the back is your answer but doing both will only help promote growth either way.

I don't train traps directly. I prefer to just do deadlifts. That hits them enough for me. If I was to do shrugs, I prefer in front as opposed to behind the back. Just a comfort thing.
