Anyhow, would love input...someone told me barbell rows, but I do them alott. My traps however, nonexistent.. maybe that's why? I also cant drive my hips out once the bar is up, like my hips are stuck. Hmm
Make sure you aren't starting your movement by pulling with your arms in the manner you would with b'bell rows. That gets it off the ground, but once the arm pull gives out and your back is picking up the load, you can stall out. Nothing wrong with throwing in pull throughs using a heavy band tied to the base of a monolift or rack, weighted hyperextensions, or reverse hypers if you have access to a good reverse hyper machine to help strengthen up glutes, lower back, hips, and hams.
Not sure I understsnd the part about b'bell rows and traps. I get better results on traps via front and rear b'bell shrugs and d'bell shrugs from the side.
Just a thought. Hope you get things squared away to your satisfaction.

There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
