Or is it genetic that some people can get it and others can't?? Also why do people have trap thats look like mountain slopes

They are shruggin' a lot.

I stuck with DB shrugs for the most part and behind the back BB shrugs sometimes (which I love). But yea, also on the DB shrugs, make sure to shrug as HIGH as you can and HOLD that position at the top for a second or two. And by "hold" i don't mean tense enough to hold it, I mean to SQUEEZE and keep contracting the traps as if you're trying to go even higher for that second or two. A lot of people say it doesn't make a difference, but in my experience it makes a huge difference. You'll notice you can't get as many reps with the same weight. Pick a weight you can BARELY get 5-7 reps with using the form I just discussed, and then when you can no longer get another rep with a peak contradction at the top, cheat a little by donig another 2 reps or so but without holding the DBs at the top. That way you get the absolute most out of your set.

lateral raises help in height of traps if you involve them while lifting

High back workouts and heavy heavy shrugs
