If I understood your question right.... Trps are "Traps" and Tris are "Triceps"...

Well..

As you can see... are only Traps exersise is deadlift which we think is enough...

As for Triceps.. we don't mix them with anything else than Biceps... and we like it that way

Maybe it could help my shoulders to work them apart from back.. I'll think about that

 

[JKurz1]

Who is "WE", you got a mouse in your pocket? Deadlifts hit traps nicely, but I still am a believer in doing at least 2-3 sets of heavy shrugs......I did Back with Tris and Chest with Bis and loved it......Legs by themselves and SHoulders w/ Traps....that way, you can hit upright rows (traps) and also some shrugs......

Get that BENCH up boy.........damn........CMon.....train hard!

In Response to Backlash

Backlash said : What happened to legs dude? Are you injured or something?

Well first.. the gym is closed on Sundays for the summer... and I can't find a way to fit legs in my schedule...

Secondly.. i'm taking the summer to rest my knees... I did alot of different sports when I was younger... and let just say that my knees are weaker than normal. It gives me alot of trouble, especially when doing heavy weights on Leg extension.

But anyways.. my legs aven't gone anorexic... and the gym is reopening on sundays... so i'll start doing legs again in maybe 1-3 weeks.
