Trap Work

The best Results that i ever had was doing shrugs Db and BB. My Traps and my back just blew up. I don't do them much anymore because they got to unprportional. Now heavy Deads keaps them in check. Lower reps 6-8 squeezing at the top for shrugs

I tried to make my delts wider by doing heavy side db laterals but got big traps instead. there you go

I FIND MY TRAPS GET TRAINED WITH HEAVY LATERALS ALSO. AND YES, I USE PERFECT FORM.

Maybe I will do a few sets of shrugs EOD to see if they catch up. I tend to split my workouts into 5 days. But I like doing abs 3x a week, so i will add shrugs to that too.
 
Anything that you havn't been doing for the last couple weeks.

I like super-setting heavy dumbell shrugs with behind the back barbells.
 
I do 5x5 and deads are my 5x5 followed by 2x10 with Db shrugs.

Maybe it's the weight/volume differences, but I can feel burn in my traps on the deads, but not nearly as much for the db shrugs.

Maybe this will change as I increase weight for both.
