Favorite Trap Exercises

[rankbull]

What are some of your favorite trap exercises? Personally, I like DB shoulder shrugs and BB shoulder shrugs (hands behind back), but would like some more to try out. Any suggestions??

Heavy cleans. Dead lifts also.

Deads. My traps get hit good from a variety off rear delt type exercises i do as well.

superset the first two workouts you did, and do 135 for a set of like 50 but slow and it will burn real good i like to burnout with it....try it out you might like it

dumbell shrugs 10-15 reps X 5 sets

for example: 40lbs dumbells 12 reps (warmup)
100lbs 10 reps (almost failure)
100lbs 12 reps (to failure)
90 lbs 10 reps (to failure)
80 lbs 15 reps (finishing pump + burn)

Much like my workout, except I pyramid from light to heavy. I also like to throw in a failure set. Once I finish my 100 pound set I will grab lighter dumbbells and go to failure.
