By necessity I come up with things that help me. For traps, aside from DB shrugs, I put a bar in a corner of the room, load the other end with plates and use an old set of handlebars off of a bicycle to hook under the bar and shrug it. Talk about a burn and my traps grew more in 6 weeks than they had in years of BB shrugs. Sometimes I use a thick rope knotted at both ends under the bar. That seems to hit the traps higher, up by the neck. Bot work excellent for bent rows too. Necessity is the mother of invention!

if you are not doing direct work on them,you are just really activating them minorly and unless you are genetically gifted they wont grow with indirect work.
rows maybe one exercise that might activate them a bit more.
but unless you are not hitting them directly,you dont need to worry.

I personnaly really don’t like traps at all. All my good looking & smart previous GF had the opinion that big traps are not aesthetic because they create an ugly triangular gorilla effect.

Looks good on you, but I’m trying to find ways NOT to activate my traps when doing shoulders… Any ideas anyone?

The program I have for blasting fat is Total Six Pack Abs. The food/diet is the most important factor in losing that gut.
There are 3-day, 5-day, and 6-day training options. So as long as your job allows you to train 3 times a week, you can do the plan 🙂 Hope that helps.

@James. I have done in the past. At the moment I don’t require them. But if your grip strength goes before you reach failure of the traps when shrugging, go ahead and use them.

A hammer strength shoulder press try
Standing on the seat and doing your shrugs.
Its like dumbbells but you can face your palms
Forward or backwards instead of just towards your
body.
