Start doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible~

Find the heaviest dumbbells you can hang on to without dropping them, look straight ahead and start shrugging! Not just kinda up and down but let your shoulders hang as low as you can then to as high as you can and hold that pose till you think your gonna pass out all while breathing properly then repeat again and again and again .... I like 4 sets of 6 reps warm ups with like 75/80s then. 3 sets with 100s strict form and holding at the top is the boom factor.

I've got great traps and I've never done a shrug in my life. For me, all that is necessary is deadlifts. Even throw some hang cleans and power cleans in there. I think it's just my genetics though. If you already do this and feel your traps are still lacking, try the above posters advice.

Do muscle cleans, start in a fully erect standing position with the bar like the top of a double overhand deadlift, then clean it using only your upper body and try to not even use any hips. If you do not know how to clean, start by shrugging your shoulders up as fast as you can, then pull your arms behind you so it is like you are doing a reverse curl then when the bar is up to your nose since you are doing a muscle clean and not a real clean shove your elbows forward as fast as you can so the bar ends up in the catch position.


And also lots of shrugs.

Grab an Iron Grip plate in each hand, start with a quarter you can alway work your way up later.

Stand up straight and shrug your shoulders up...
While in the "up" position bring your arms out as far as possible(kind of like you were doing side laterals but obviously not going that high)
Still while in the "up" position bring your arms back down to your sides...
Drop your traps back to the starting position...

That's 1 rep

So it's a 4 count; up, out, down, down
