Deadlifts and Shrugs

[D Animal]

I do deadlifts on back day..then on shoulder day I hit shrugs....I was wondering cause somone made a good point. They say if you do dl's then you hit the traps why do it again with shrugs.What do you all think?

I do Shrugs on Back day sometime after deadlifts. Doing a Back, Trap split one day and doing Delts and Bi's together on another. I split it that way 'cause since the Traps and Rhomboids get stimulated when doing other back excersises I don't want to over do it too much.

The Bi's and delts thing is because I feel when I hit curls I feel my Frontal delt head gets hit as well.

Just my thoughts:D

i do traps with back also. traps play a pretty significant role in rows, etc. so training them on back day is usually not a bad idea. however, if your routine wont allow it, then make sure there is plenty of time between your back and trap workouts for traps to be at 100% on back day.

I do em on shoulder day. That's how I got those.

I do the same as you and don't feel that it is to much.

if I deadlift I won't even do shrugs for a week or so. I get a lot out of deads that shrugs don't give me for some reason.

I used to do shrugs on shoulder day and my traps did respond but now that i am deadlifting Ive decided to do my shurgs on back day

i do shrugs on shoulder day because i concentrate alot on shrugs to get my traps huge.. dl's wont get your traps huge like G-S's... just my opinion
