    Traps Getting too big need Wider shoulders!

    Ok so im on cycle at the mo and my traps seem to be developing a lot quicker then my shoulders and its making me look not as wide any more.

    I have always had lagging shoulders athe begining and i had to work them hard for ages before they came through, now they are not lagging but i wish to get them brauder to catch up with my traps.

    My shoulder workout is as follows

    Cable Rear lateral raises 8x3
    Dumbell Shoulder Press 8x3
    Side Lateral Raises 8x3
    Upright row 8x3
    dumbell shrugs 8x3 with super sets with barbell

    at the moment i work them on a day with my triceps and im thinking that i should do some side lateral raises or upright row on chest day? so i hit them twice a week?

    Thanks for ur input

    doesnt seem much of a shoulder workout tho only doing 3 exercises and also doesnt mean my side shoulders will develop more tho?? surely that will just mean my traps wont grow as much but really i want my traps to grow just want my shoulders to as quick.

    I disagree. Dont worry about the shrugs. The upright rows are fine. I think your shoulders will catch up fine with time. Unless you are entering a bb contest?

    Also, you could go to 4 sets to make up for the lost exercise. People worry to much about making sure they hit every angle of the muscle to much.
