Shrugs perhaps. You really have to go heavy.

I agree with everything but the perhaps part. Shrug with maximum range of motion and go heavy. Strap up.

Well, Lobo told me I needed to come reply to this thread.

Since I don't really train my traps, in the traditional sense, I will just tell you that mine only look like that after deadlifting. I also do alot of rows and kelso shrugs. I rarely do any upright shrugs or they will grow so fast my shoulders look sloped.

Something to consider is that the hunk of meat on each side of your neck is the LEAST of your traps. Your traps go down to the middle of your back and all the way over to the shoulder blades for insertion. Just something to think about when choosing movements.

GOOD LUCK!

SHRUG drop sets!!!!!!!!!!!! Traps are a fast twitch muscle, just like calves, so you need to go until failure with a lot of volume. Good thing is that they grow very quickly once you find your rhythm.
