What part of the body is working more: Traps or Shoulders.
This exersise seems to work the whole shoulder muscle(rare, side, front) and traps.
See, i do this exersies last, for my Trap/shoulder workout, and i dont really see if this exersise does any good.

I did close grip upright rows for a year as part of my shoulder routine and built some nice traps from them. Nothing else for traps- no shrugs, no deadlifts, just upright rows. Very effective.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

FWIW, I used to have one of those exercise tubes with two handles attached (it since broke) but I used to sometimes use it for upright rows, holding both handles together, hands touching so maximum close grip. Sometimes I also held a light db for added resistance and I rowed up over my head. Anyway, since it was so light it was very strict, with resistance both ways and I used to get a tremendous traps pump and soreness from doing those.
