Building traps

Realized I forgot. The trap bar is good for shrugs as well and that may actually be the reason its called trap bar. Hands are on the side, so it is a much more comfortable position to do shrugs in as well as less possibilities of mistakes with the jewels.

I've tried routines incorporating a trap bar with weights at the end of a workout, but so far what's best worked for me to grow the traps - and you may not believe this - was doing Eric Goodman's Foundation. It's basically weightless isometric exercises, there are some in a given routine and that has made my traps slightly bigger when I was doing it 3 sessions of 40 minutes a day (no weight training at the time).
