One of my best muscle groups due mainly to shrugs.

Some form or shrug
Partial deadlifts (top quarter of movement)
High pulls

Application of sufficient intensity to these movements will make traps grow

Personally I don't train traps as they explode to the point where they overpower the delts

I feel I get sufficient stimulus from shoulder exercises

The dumb kvnts who do "rotating shrugs" (circular motion) in our gym, have zero traps...
Those who train 'em right (like this feller) have very good ones... ^^^

There's no excuse now with the availability of visual gym instruction online

I quite like wide grip BB shrugs

For big traps take steroids.

Levrone did a form of rotating shrugs in his M3 video

It all comes down to shoulder blade motion.

When average gym goers try to target their traps, more often than not, they are actually mobilizing the levator scapulae, which downwardly rotates the scapula.
