Unfortunately not, I’ve never been able to get them to flex like a bicep or anything does, just a little more definition with flexing but not too much mass is what I’ve noticed.
Traps - How much do you shrug ?

I can get you bigger traps with 45lbs per hand. Check out my method below

If you wanna see my trap size look at my traps in my squat video
This is 100% from my method...

I will definitely be trying this exercise, thank you sir. I say sir because your traps are eating your head and I'm scared they're gonna eat me next

If I made some time in my routine to hit up a gym instead of only doing at home workouts, I would absolutely follow this. I don’t have a problem admitting when I don’t know something and I have to tell you man, I’ve never seen anyone do those type of squats you were doing at an incline. I was impressed the whole video and then you started squatting to full extension and back up with 315 for some reps. That’s gotta be hard **** man. Good work. My traps are big but they aren’t that big, haha

Anyone at your age pulling your physique off deserve abs on their traps, you have huge abs man, definitely not fat but I know you are messing around. I hope I look that good when im a little older.

Yeah, same here. Today is actually shoulders and back, can't wait to tag these on to the tail end of my workout.

Anybody try doing shrugs on the seated cable row machine? I did them the other day and was surprised how well it targeted the upper and mid trap area. People will look at you funny, but I sat about 45 degrees back holding the cable directly out in front of me with arms straight. Instead of pulling with the arms, I just did shrugs. This utilizes the scapulars some as well. I'm going to continue this for awhile and see how it works.

I dig the idea, might try it.
I'm in the middle of my 4 sets of (what I'm calling) "Wes Shrugs". Feeling it! Don't usually sweat during shrugs but this has me working for sure. Gonna be awhile before I can move real weight like the big boys though. Baby steps.

I know that with a lot of work, science, and nutrition we can overcome some genetic traits, but at the end of the day genetics definitely do play a role. I mean I have been oly lifting with crossfit amounts of volume for a decade and I do not get the huge traps others do. But I've had pecks since I was in high school and my best pumps are always my canonball shoulders....
my take on this stuff is that when I'm in the gym I work to get the most bang I can out of the things that are naturally well developed, and then try to hammer the things that aren't so good.
I think there is a chicken and egg thing to this though.
do runners build a running body, or do people with a physic built for running naturally gravitate towards running because it's something their body does well and thus is more enjoyable?
I have to really force myself to put in good solid legs days and squat because I suck at it. my squat is typically no where near my deadlift and often times not a lot higher than my bench. But I grew up racing BMX, football, snowboarding etc... all things that would have had major leg requirements....
