Traps - Work them with shoulders or back?

[the.gladiator1987]

Want to do back today but my traps are sore, not sure what to do traps with....shoulders or back?

depends what your shoulder and back workout look like. i do 5 exercises for my back so i just throw shrugs with shoulders. also i do upright rows for shoulders and that involves the traps when you squeeze up top so i just do shrugs right after upright rows.

Well my back routine is this

deadlift 4 sets
bb row 4 sets
lat pulldown 4 sets

and shoulder routine is this

bb behind the neck presses 4 sets
db military press 3 sets
butterflies 3 sets

in your situation, whichever you choose will be fine.

I do them with both. 5 sets of 15 to 20 reps

I personally do my traps with both shoulders and back. For me, it's like doing calves and abs, I can do them more than once, I don't always do traps twice but do it often!!

I do a 5x5 most of the time with some shit added. On the day I do my MP I added in extra shoulder and trap work.

If you hit the deadlifts hard shrugs are unnessecary - technically thio I would class traps as back - tehy cover 2/3 of the back area

I cant imagine doing deadlifts/bb rows/lat pulldowns/shrugs in 1 workout lol
