traps?

[skeldno]

Can anyone give me tips on trap workouts? i do shrugs a lot but would like to know more that work on the traps alone?

upright rows 3 sets of 12 reps
D.B. shrugs 2 sets of 10 reps
seated rows to upper abs lower chest w/close grip 2 sets of 12 reps
bent over rows to upper abs 5 sets of 10 reps
cleans 3 sets of 6 reps
this is my back/trap W/O everyother week I change from bent over rows to pulldowns wide behind the head for the same reps and sets. this w/o has given me more size to my traps and upper back.

now these are heavy sets with minimal rest.

also try a WIDE grip upright row...they hit great !!

Trap get hit a lot during back and even on chest day they really don’t need much work at all I just hit them after back with 3-4 sets of shrugs to minimize overtraining

deadlifts,bent over barbell rows,they are back exercises but they will build up traps the traps. seated dumbell shrugs are good too.

lateral raises and deads
