Alright, ive done shrugs maybe 1 time, about 2 months ago and thought there was no reason to do them, so i stopped. After doing deads on the straight bar and hex bar, there always sore and theyve grown like 3 times as big as they were when i started lifting weights in late november. Anyone else think traps are very easy to train without actually training them directly?

I'm never gonna have nice traps
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins

I have big traps, I do train them directly, i like to do Heavy ass shrugs, and dumbell shrugs. Plus the deads and power cleans hit them pretty hard too.

My traps suck. For those that do isolation training for traps, do you train them along with back or with shoulders?

Absolutely. I do not train traps, because I think having big traps can make your shoulders look narrow if you do not have broad bone structure in the shoulders. After I started doing deadlifts, my traps grew a lot. I really don't want them to get any bigger than they are now, but I will keep on doing my deadlifts.

Don't like your traps Tim? Give them to me!
I love traps and wish I had them. I do deads and shrugs and my traps just don't seem to grow.
However I think I just might know why deads don't hit my traps. At the very top of the movement do you have to stick your chest out? Cause I don't do that but was told I was supposed to.The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black.

That's obviously my problem then...
See after I have full stood up that was it for the movement then I reverse the movement to bring it back down on the negative that is. Without that little shoulder action.
Ok... gonna start doing that. Lets get these suckers thick!!The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard.
