well shrugs is about the only thing that is going to work them directly. how do you do your shrugs? DB's, Barbell ect? i go back and forth each week. slow and controlled with as much weight you can do for 12-15 reps. hold at the top for 2 seconds or so.

What he said/\ But traps also have to do with having a nice thick back; they're part of it, not the shoulders like some think...You should do traps on ack days; do DL's...

agreed. many things hit the traps indirectly. shrugs is pretty much the only movement that hits them directly.

Straps could help; but don't get use to them.

Narrow grip will hit them more than a wide grip upright row...

I was gifted with some nice traps, lol.

I don't usually do direct work on them, but once in a while I do. shrugs, face pulls, etc. I do alot of rowing and find that this hits them well... Underhand grip on the smith.. or when I do deads, well I make sure to squeeze them out on explosion.
