how many sets for traps?

if you have one of those adjustable benching machines that have no bar in the middle and just on the outside and can adjust for many angles to hit the chest/miltary for shoulders try them out (this is hard to explain but alot of gyms have them in there machine section..kind of like a --u-- shape lookin from above head. i find this is killer on the traps shrug with shitload more than the dumbels can get and u dont have to wrry about the barbell scraping ur ass or ur balls infront or behind u..just throwing this in my shoulder routine 2 sets of as heavy as i can go fro about 10-15 reps high intensity holding poisition and squeezing at the top for at least 2 sec slow on the way down let it pull ur whole shoulders down for the stretch my traps actually hurt for 2-3 days after when they usually arent sore at all good stuff give it a try

Hitting traps on back day 3-4 sets helps alot. Depending on your training schedule, i think that you should still hit traps on shoulder day too...especially if traps are lacking. My favorite variations of shrugs is using the Smith Machine. The Smith machine allows for shrugs behind the back and in front.
