Traps ???!!!

[proxy]

Is it better to train them with shoulders or back and why?Also I will appreciate sample workouts in booth cases.
Thanks

I train my traps on shoulder day. My personal opinion is that the traps are worked in combination on back workouts, but I isolate the traps on delt day. I find I can go heavier this way.

I train them with shoulders too.

In my opinion, dumbell shrugs are the best for trap mass.
I do my traps after back and shoulders.
5 stes of dumbell shrugs.
For my back i do:

chins 3 sets
deadlifts 3 sets
t-bar rows 3 sets

shoulders:

military presses 3 sets
side laterals 3 sets

then traps:

dumbell shrugs 5 sets

I'm new around here...just thought I'd give you guys a holler!!

K...It all depends on you. You can do traps on delt day or lat day. Coz if you are doing deadlifts, then you're traps are takin a beating. Like your tris do when you work your chest.

I prefer doing them on shoulder day. My routine is sumthin like this:

All exercises are 1 warmup set and 3 working sets. The reps are 12-8-6-4

1) Clean N Press
2) Forward Lateral Raises
3) Push N Press (Military Press with a shitload of cheating)
4) Side Lateral Pulleys
5) Dumbell Shrugs
6) Behind da back Barbell Shrugs
7) Lat Rows

I vary da workout too... Somedays I'll use just DB's and do Arnold Presses and somedays I'll throw out Clean N Press and just do Military Presses and then somedays I'll quit Side Laterals for Rear Delt action.

I defintely would say back just becaues heavy deads so heavily activate your traps its almost absurd not to train them on that day.

agreed with monstar, I need em for deadlifts and rows.

I get an awesome pump when I train traps/delts together.

Wouldn't do it any other way.

I train traps after shoulders, they go hand in hand: Here's my shoulder routine

Behind the neck presses or military presses 5 sets
Hammer machine presses 4 sets
Side lateral raises 3 sets
Front raises 4 sets
upright rowns 4 sets
Reverse pec dec 3 sets
Dumbell or barbell shrugs 5 sets

May seem like a lot but I only train shoulders and traps once every 6 days.

Hope this help you out.
