What are your lifts like now?

 

[Little Rage]

how bout some dumbbell shrugs and heavy upright rows. Only exercises I mainly use for them.

What are you referring to as your traps? Just the top part that is seen as the two bumps on either side of the neck? Or are you referring to the depth and functionality of the main part of the traps that extends well below mid-back between the shoulder blades?

 

[Haz]

Shrugs, shrugs, and more shrugs. Nothing hits the traps like heavy shrugs.

Power shrugs.

Heavy Farmers Walks for total trap development...and lots of pain.

bfold...do you have a certain apparatus for farmers walks or are you holding a barbell or what?

 

[b fold the truth]

EZ curl bars are fun...and super heavy dbells can be fun too...

I have farmers that I have built...fairly easy.

Heavy deadlifts will hit the traps!! Really work with heavy dumbbell shrugs and up-right rows.

bfold: i need to build some of these since i dont have heavy enough dumbbells. i would love to hit these as an extra workout. i could do them when i dont feel like dragging the sled.

My traps get hit hardest during heavy deads, 400+

 

[WarriorPL]

very heavy dumbell shrugs will get them working...

heavy shrugs are in order as are face pulls that spatts has made so famous on here.

Bump on Luden Swain. Heavy deadlifts are the way to go. Use straps so you can take your forearms and grip out of the equation and really throw the weight on.

Kelso Shrugs

 

[coolcolj]

High clean pulls

 

[Charlie Kane]

Power Cleans and Deadlifts.

Deadlifts made my traps grow more than anything lately !!! I have also done shrugs on the standing calves raise machine, very good for isolation after the deadlift in case your grip is dead like mine!!
