I don't know if I'm the best person for advise when it comes to building traps. The reason is, my traps grow so easily, I seldom train them. Just good genetics I suppose.
However when I do train them, I get an amazing workout from behind-the-back barbell shrugs. It's basically a typical barbell shrug, but the bar is behind you as opposed to infront of you. This seems to focus more of the overall traps than just the top around the neck.
Behind-the-back dumbell shrugs work great as well. Remember Mr. Olympia Lee Haney who won 7 titles? He had humungous traps, and he performed behind-the-back dumbell shrugs quite often. With the dumbell shrugs you should be in the position to brush the palms of your hands (dumbell in hand) along the back of your thighs. Lifting from the rear as opposed to the front or side. Excellent exercise, and the only exercises I do for my traps.
My traps grow so easily I train them only twice a month.

thanks guys ill try that
for the traps only!
i believe that it's not about the heavy weight it's about slow controlled range of motion . Squeezing the muscle at the the high point of the rep and stretching the muscle on the way down . Choose a weight thats heavy enough where you can do 8-10 controlled reps where the last rep you feel your traps are going to explode . My favorite trap exercises
um. shrugs,up right rows,barbell behind back.
TRAIN HARD AND THEY WILL GROW!!!!!!!
