Building big shoulders!

[Hazard]

Here's what I do and my shoulders are pretty meaty.....

Dumbell press - 3-4 sets
side laterals - 3 sets
front's - 3 sets
rears - 4 sets

For traps I do 2 sets of shrugs on the smith machine with the bar behind my ass and then 2 sets of shrugs with the bar infront. My traps stick up through all my shirts so i'd say they are great for building them.

Have you considered that your meaty traps come from your deadlift?

I'm not as large as you, but mine jut out also. I rarely do shrugs; if I do them though I do them after DLs or cleans/snatches because I feel they get better owned that way. I also hear a lot that traps are largely genetic; however, I've always considered myself to be on the shallow end of the gene pool.
