Just wondering what everyone was doing for traps. I recently added power clings to deadlift/back day and my traps are feeling it!!!!!

Heavy dead lifts and shrugs.
Shrugs with the bar in front or behind your waist?
I usually add behind the back shrugs every other workout. Incase you do them as I used to until I was shown proper form, you need to get your feet in place slightly bend your knees and lean forward just enough so the bar isn't touching your body then shrug away aiming your shoulders to behind your ears. World of difference especially if you hold and squeeze at the top.Originally Posted by bdad
I also like to do upright rows after shrugs
Every time I do traps I have to go to chiropractor. The harder I try to not push my head forward the worse it is.
I actually seen a guy at the gym with a neck brace to hold his head still. Needless to say it looked uncomfortable
Deadlifts or Rack Pulls with a snatch grip always kills my traps. Deadlifts in general though will build overall trap growth better than any other exercise IMO.
Shrugs in front.
Shrugs behind.
Upright rows wide grip.
Nice!
Deadlifts and shrugs seem to hit them the hardest for me.
Oh yeah also forgot to mention that I use a 2 second count both up and down on just about everything.
