And all forms of cleans and pulls as was said.

You mean compared to the hang clean?

The power clean like the full clean still starts from the floor but with no squat to catch the weight.

BB Rows, pulling the bar to your waist willl activate lats well.

DB rows pulling to the same place.

Nothing beats the rush of flying down a steep, twisty trail then hitting the jump parks! And yeah, great leg workout and cardio. I think it does wonders for my calves!

Just do the exercise and find what feels natural for you and stick with it. If you're keeping your shoulder blades back, you wont be risking injury regardless.

Just do what feels best for you....

You may be able to "feel" different variations better. Personally i far prefer behind the back shrugs performed using the smith machine, has given me the best trap results by far.

Floor presses
Overhead DB Extensions
Pushdowns
Skullcrushers

Not in that order but they're my exercises. Have added a lot of mass to my tris, i mainly contribute it to heavy ass floor presses!...
