Probably better off doing them with straps (and overhand grip) if you are going heavy otherwise your grip is bound to give out before your traps. Here's a link which talks about them:

The Power Shrug:
This is the original shrug, the upper back and traps respond to dynamic pulling like nothing else. One of the few exercises that is fully guaranteed to result in major changes in the mirror in a few weeks. And yes, afterward you will wonder why the general population neutered this exercise into an isolation movement that isn't 1/10th as effective.
