* BEST Mass-Builder For TRAPS? *

[lweaver]

Very true, the pull doesn't specify upper, middle or lower traps...

I'd say shrugs of all sorts for upper traps (increasing my deadlift has done little for my trap development, re-adding shrugs to my routine has helped),face pulls for middle/lower trap development, and underhand barbell rows for lower traps.

For a while I was doing 3 sets of dumbell shrugs then 7 sets of machine shrugs with 30-45 seconds of rest between sets. Stole that from fst7. Saw good results with it too!

deadlifts and rows pretty much increases the thickness of every muscle in the back, especially the traps.

If you have a pair of farmer walk bars then you could do a couple sets of farmer carries. Deadlifts also work great for trap development.

Clean pulls are supposed to build massive traps. A regiment in most college and pro football programs to protect the neck.

for me, my gym has a home made fabbed up farmers carry type thing that you load plates onto... Really cheap and ugly looking... But by far the best thing for traps. Every gym should make one. If i could find a picture of what it kind of looks like.... 3 days after using it, feels like you have been stabbed in the traps. I only work traps maybe once a month, if I do them to often, they get to unproportional. Chest and traps grow to fast on me compared to everywhere else.

Haha i actually only work out traps ever two weeks, especially on cycle. They grow at an unproportional rate!
