[Bouncer1982]

Having heaps of trouble with traps I'm doing shrugs 3 sets of 20 but not getting a pump are there any other excersises I can do to Blast my traps apart from shrugs???

deadlifting can bring out your trap's more if your not already doing this

Farmer walks are a fav of mine. Three sets of 20 reps on shurgs is what you are doing? Increase the weight, imho

i like doing shrugs behind my back. I dont concentrate on the weight but on the exercise. I find it works well.

I do 100lb dumbbells in each hand, 10-12 reps each, 4 sets

Then i do upright rows, which hits them also:
4 sets, 14 reps each set, 7 wide grip, then set the bar down an go immediately to 7 of a closer grip

Use less reps.

5x5 on the smith press machine will get those traps pumped.

Rack deads...or partials You can pack more weight on the bar than oyu normal can deadlift... I rotate these everyother dl session

I have always found that its not the amount of weight u use but how fast u do a rep. I go up then hold for a few seconds,and go back down. Do this like eight times and u should feel a good pump

I take it you are refering to a slowing the movement down and not doing each rep rapid? If so I agree very much with this advice.
