    One of the main problems I see with BB trap work is people don't pull they're shoulders back into the right position... they often roll their shoulders forward - imho pinch your shoulder blades together & retract your scapulas(almost like getting ready to bench) it's made mine much thicker and they run up into my occipital part of my skull...

    DBs for height BB more for length has worked well for me... I also do 2 heavy sets but work up from 225 <--- that's my starting point can easily do 50-70 Shrugs with this Wright to get the blood flowing and I add a plate aside until it's not a controlled movement...

    Deads & rack pulls are awesome as well

    I agree 100% I actually roll mine backwards then up and it seems to clobber the entire trap . Instead of a short jerking motion I use a long exaderated motion and it has been a night and day difference .
