    Thanks for the feedback guys. One exercise that is missing from my routine is deads.... and I KNOW I should be doing them as a mass builder if for no other reason... I just get lazy. I do see now how they could indirectly stimulate trap growth, never thought about that before, so I will definitely add them back into my routine!
    u want to challenge my knowledge? or u my want to train your posterior chest and your front lats?

    I guess i'm bored right now which is why i'm even entertaining this. I didn't call you an insulting name, I stated a fact. You were and still are being a wise ass. Grow up please!

    To everyone else and armwrestler22 - I do have that machine at my gym and used to use it (I did some sets facing it and some facing away just to target different areas) but dropped it for the smith/dumbell routine I currently do. Do you think I should swap again, or simply incorporate a 3rd exercise into my current routine?

    If found that seated dumbell shrugs have helped me to focus on the upper peak of the trap. also there is one machine at various gyms that is a seated / standing shrud machine where stand facing the machine , arms at shoulder width and grab the handles with palsm facing your outer quads and do a standing shrug. you can change the angle of stress on your traps by walking closer to the seat (for Front) or walking away from the seat to focus on the rear(keeping your hands in the same place on the grips though). in addition a new shock workout might help you. how about a drop set starting with the 120db's for ten reps and drop 10 lbs each time and go down all they way to the 40lb db's. a couple of those every few trap work outs might help to switch things up. perhaps also if you focus your chest workouts to encompass a lot of incline work and really hit your upper chest it will help to improve the clavicle area at the top of your chest thus creating a look as if there is a lot more depth / seperation between the front of your chest and your traps, also causing t-shirts to hang off of the peaks of your traps and chest giving you that "yoked" look. good luck. happy 4th.

    sorry, typing while eating...correction, walk closer to the shrug machine seat to hit the rears and farther back to hit the fronts. cheers

    My man.... what is the deal with you? You have now posted several times in my thread and have yet to offer anything of substance. Instead, you feel you're in a pissing contest with everybody. Defensive much?

    I'm not interested in challenging your knowledge; you're clearly a kid (c'mon, it's obvious) who thinks he knows everything because you read Arnold's book or something. I did nothing more than refer to the front 'view' of my traps, and you are attacking my knowledge of anatomy?

    Keep digging your hole, you are begging to be banned, and i'll sit back and enjoy the show!

    PS - keep working on the grammer, you're getting there!
