getting traps bigger???

[SuperbeastC&J]

I have some pretty decent sized traps, but i want to get them jacked, any idea how to increase them in size?

your pulls in the c&j will add a lot of size in the long run

straight up, VERY HEAVY shrugs. Use straps if you can't handle the weight with your grip. They will just blow out.

The kid is trying to build up his C&J at the same time.

regular shrugs wont have too much use.

specificty is a major factor in his training.

There is an oly based complex I read about somewhere that does a number on the traps/upper back. You may want to try it. It consists of 3 exercises done in a superset fashion.

Snatch-grip high pulls x6 reps
Clean-grip high pulls x6 reps
Scapular retraction rows x6 reps

I think the article was written by christian thibuasomething on t-mag. You may want to check it out. I used it for awhile and had good results.

About a year ago I bought a kettlebell and worked out with only it for the next 6 months very boring and I quickly got too strong for it but at the end I noticed how much bigger my traps and erectors were from all the olympic movements.
