I love power shrugs!
Within 2 weeks of doing them I was doing 315 for sets of 5-8 reps very explosively and MAN was I sore. But just like madcow2 said, I did notice almost instantaneous trap growth! Like a dummy I quit doing them because I got suckered into doing them lighter and sloooow. Talk about garbage! I get a better contraction on them pulling fast and explosvely. Same goes for rows and pulldowns of any kind.

Different strokes for different folks.

if you want big meaty traps you gotta do deadlifts. and heavy deadlifts! you still need to do shrugs though. also when you are doing side lateral raises, as soon as your arms are past parallel then you are working your traps. I always try and go as high as I can so I get a trap workout when i do my shoulders. I never train traps with shoulders this way they are being hit twice a week.

Is that what it's called, walking around, shoulders up, with dumbells in each arm? That is a great exercise if you can keep a grip. Even with gloves it's hard to keep a hold of 100 lb. dumbells for more than 50 feet.
