learn how to do high pulls, cleans, and power shrugs; apply them and do them with high sets/low reps(i.e. 10x3) and see what happens to your traps

Getting strong on deadlifts or rack dead lifts (on back day) helps most people with trap development.

by cleans are you talking about clean and presses? also what are these power shrugs? can you explain a little bit how they differ from regular shrugs?

Concentrate on your Deadlifts, deadlifting some bastard heavy weights should make your traps grow.

+3
Deadlifts will make EVERYTHING grow!! I rotate deadlifts with rack deads from knee height. I use these for my back thickness exercises, but they will make you grow every where. I don't understand why people train their traps on shoulder day. traps run down two thirds of your back. Train them with back people.
