traps - back or shoulder day?

[boondockSAINT]

Wondering what day you guys think it's better to perform traps on - back or shoulders?

[YounG_SluG11]

Shoulders.

[Geeezer]

I do traps on shoulder day

[SplinterCell]

Shoulders here

[AandF6969]

Shoulders... you can do upright rows before them, hitting the delts and traps.

[Rob]

i recently changed my workout for a month or two and put traps with back

[general31]

Shoulders. I like to keep the blood in one are while lifting for the best pump. Thats why I don't like to do chest and tris together. Its probably in my head though!

I'm the same way

[angelxterminator]

I'll do 2 sets of shrugs on shoulder day. Thats it

My traps get enough work with deads. When you use heavy weight, and it rotate my shoulders up and back at the peak of the movement, my traps get a severe blasting anyway!

shoulders

[dymbag]

I Do Them With Shuolders Also..my Soulder Workout Is Fairly Short Any Way

[boondockSAINT]

Looks like shoulders it is. Thanks guys.

[ReX357]

Shoulder day here too.

[josh8416]

shoulder day, but sometimes i do back/shoulders together. so..

[rixyroids]

shoulders here!

[Diesel]

Do them with Back if you deadlift.

Otherwise throw them in with shoulders.

[Jantzen4k]

do it both days. unless back and shoulders are right after each other

[the hulkster]

BACK, but again I do deads, and the trapz are a back muscle, plus I do back on thurs and then shoulders in fri. so with all the stimulation of the trapz in my back workout i just through em in on that day, its all preference really.

[Panzerfaust]

I hit traps on back day....

[Dude-Man]

Do them with Back if you deadlift.

Otherwise throw them in with shoulders.

Seeing as how EVERYONE (unless you have a serious lower back injury) should be deadlifting, back day is your answer. I throw upright rows and shrugs into my back day.

by the way, who even needs a shoulders day? between chest and back they get more than enough work. just throw some side raises and 3 sets of barbell military on the end of your chest day.

[Diesel]

Best to hit your rear delts on back day as well.

[DNoMac]

Wow, i'm one of the only ones who hits it on back day. Been doin it since i began lifting

[xfade7]

both, my back and shoulder days are far enough apart.

[EatRite]

chest, light shoulders, tri's
back, heavy traps, bi's
shoulders, abs
legs

depends on what you are looking for... if your goal is to get huge traps, do them on both days, if you only wanna do then once a week... definately on back day... you use your traps a lot when you do back... when you do rowing motions your traps pull a lot of the weight, especially rows where your hands are relatively close together... def. back day... just finish them off after your rows and shi*... imo

[BIGp4]

i do them on both but my shoulder and back are pretty far apart

[needmorestrength]

Back along with rear delts

[palme]

Do them with Back if you deadlift.

Otherwise throw them in with shoulders.

Imo you train trapz when you deadlift so you dont need to train trapz if yo deadlift.
But if i for some reason dont deadlift that week then i do traps with my shoulders.

[BDTR]

I dont do any trap work, my traps get all the work they need deadlifting.

[craneboy]

traps on shoulder day for me

[FCECC2]

I dont do any trap work, my traps get all the work they need deadlifting.

same thing for me, i havnt done any traps works in 2 years and they just keep on growing with extremely heavy deadlift

[brew035]

I do them on shoulder day. But right before I leave the gym i do a burn out set of standing dumbbell clean.
Start with the 20 then 17 1/2 then 15 doesnt sound like much but on the second set the 17 1/2 get pretty ****ing heavy and by the 15 its hurting like hell. The third set is out of this world give it try you will be one sore mutha fvcka. But change the weight acccording to what you think will hurt the most(with out lossing form!!!!!!)

[GrdLock]

shoulders

[TUnit]

do a little on both. on shoulder days do your upper traps then on back do your lower traps

[MrMondodondo]

I do em on back day. I deadlift so I feel it is a better overall pump to tie the whole back together so to speak.

My reply a few days later:

Looks like shoulders it is. Thanks guys.

Although I am sometimes disappointed when old threads pop up, you have to get used to it with over 30,000 members on the board.

[pyschomab]

back day is what i do them on!!

[ire]

IMO Definitely 2x week.

I do back and shoulder day. I believe large enough muscle to recover easily at 2x per week.
