Nice traps

>>39904154
upright rows will change your world. they say don't do close grip, it on the ez bar I find them better for my shoulders. but my body is weird

Rack-pulls (after weighted chins) on back day

Shrugs/Klokov Press (after OHP) on shoulders day

>>39904160
Do you use a specific rep scheme?

Why do you want big traps they aren't asthetic at all from the Greco-Roman perspective that bodybuilding aspires to. Worry more about your v-taper

>>39904154
High pulls and power clean from blocks. Also rubish rows

>>39904253
I definitely rate Frank Zane as the ideal but I've got longish neck and my traps are proportionally small

Weighted handstands

>>39904154
Heavy ass bar shrugs. Dumbbell arent as good cause you will cheat subconsciously. Also if your gym has one of the incline row bars, do that. Go as wide as possible.

When my traps were actually looking good, i'd do around 5 sets 8-12 and then 3 light weight sets (30 sec break) for just as many as I could.

I know it's bro-ish, but this used to fuck the shit out of my traps and made em grow like a mofo.

Also realize you're hitting you traps on back day (if youre doing a cest/shoulder/leg) split. Just focus on your traps during back day. Really think about activating them.

>>39904160
this too. Go overhand grip, wide. Just think about activating your lower traps cause its hard at first. Your lats will wanna do all the work.

>>39904154
Just do a shrug at the top of every deadlift.

>>39904703
yeah just shrug 450 lbs guys

>>39904479
No I definitely see what you mean. I had a similar routine for triceps and that worked wonders.

>>39904154
Good form deadlifts. The main doms I get from deadlifts are from my traps, ever since I learned to activate them correctly during deadlifts. My back is also always straight now, even one heavy weights ( 220kg 1rm).

>>39904154
I don't isolate them, I mostly rely on deadlifts, rows and reverse flys.

Not him, but chinups and pullups work the lower and middle traps to some degree.

Heavy Shrugs and Rack Pulls
Don't worry about form because traps grow through stabilization

>>39907705

deadlifts exploded mine to the point where i was already pissed at them getting too big.

>>39907767

>>39904253
Frank had amazing traps, just not the bulbous horror show that modern mass monsters have

>>39904154
slap some 45's on a smith machine and do like 5 sets of shrugs to failure

>>39904965
if you can't shrug your deadlift then you are low test
fact i read it in an scientific article

>>39904154
I tend to ignore them so as to not feed into their delusions and desperate cries for attention.

Search for wrestling bridge exercises, I guarante you it will work, used to cut to wrestle and I was skinny but my traps were huge.

>>39908533
what the fuck would doing bridges do for your traps?

you know what wrestlers have big traps? because they wrestle, not because you're doing that one stretch.

cuck.

>>39908576
You've never done a bridge in your entire fucking life have you?

>>39908576
he isn't completely wrong nigger
when you work the back of your neck like in the bridges, it makes your traps look bigger since the back of the neck connects to them.

Are you a NYR or just stupid?

>>39908595
you're literally retarded.

i've done gymnastics for 15 years. do you think i've done a bridge in my life?

>>39908624
If you've ever done a bridge then you'd know that it works all of the back muslces

And post a timestamped pic, lets see what those 15 years of gymnastics have done for your traps.

>>39908608
your upper traps are responsible for one movement (scap elevation) and assist in a handful of others.

none of those movements have to do with your cervical spine.

I just use Craigslist.
