search and no luck need trap exercises to do

[carbs-rule]

I agree 100% with deadlifts. IMO, deadlifts are the only exercise where you can feel the pressure in the traps, and not in the neck and shoulders like shrugs. I get nowhere with shrugs.

Yeah I know I did shrugs today I always feel it more in my neck. One thing I do to feel them more is to flex my traps first. While flexing grab the bar or db then start the lift. It kinda helps keep the focus there for me.

Thank guys I dont do much deads I got a bad back and it doesnt help it much. The fall of of a 20' extension ladder was a bitch!!!

But I still do them just not alot. I do my traps with my shoulders. when i do my bent over rear raises I try to focus on my traps and this seems to hit em pretty good.

Thanks for all the input its always a big help.
