Who trains traps directly here ?

[The Coach]

I noticed that Deadlifts or 1/2 deadlifts are better for traps development than any shrugs or up-right rows movements

what do you guys think ?

Deads just throw off symmetry, isolate your traps.

[Bluto]

my traps grew a lot this year while I did not direct training for them but I did more deadlifts in my trainings

good for you

but i need direct trap work as you can see in this video, 1,55 minutes into it

[Trev]

why not change it up and do all these movements.....i do shoulders and back the same day.......deads and go back and shrug later at the end of the workout

[Trev]

uh, you do know that upright rows target the delts, right?  Traps are only the stabilizers.

They do enough for em

I don't train them - already look like a camel.
Typical whitetrash - all traps-genetics with narrow clavicles

Indeed. I put a chain on and the fucker rolls down my traps and looks stupid ...

[wisconsinBB]

I hit upright rows and dumbell shrugs when I'm training my rear delts.  The traps also get worked in all my other back movements.

behind the back heavy barbell shrugs...lee haney favourite

[fearANDloathing]

--my favorite for shrugs! I do it standing up and fill each side with 45's.
The position of the grip hits my traps more diectly than barbell shrugs.
