theres probably millions of shrug variations. rack pulls/dealifts, and cleans work well also

shrugs, shrugs, and...

oh yeah, shrugs

 

[Serea]

Dumbell shrugs if you have dumbells that heavy. Deads don't get my traps nearly as sore as shrugs. I do t-bar rows for the lower traps too.

All full olympic lifts and their partials.

Personally, the only work my traps get are from bent-over rows.
