Deadlifts and standing presses will target them indirectly. Other than them, I'm not really sure.
Suppose any shoulder exercise to an extent aswell.Want to start making money online? It's simple, head over to hostgator and use the coupon code 'RYANHOSTGATOR' . Or if you want me to help/teach you just send a pm my way. Happy to help free of charge.

i would recommend behind the neck barbell presses, upright rows superset with lateral raises and end with HEAVY shrugs after each set, hold 45 plate in each hand and shrug it for one hold as long as possible. then end with three continious sets of one armed shrugs(i like to use the smith machine for this one). incorporate theseinto your shoulder workout and theyll feel like theyre about to blow if you go HARD.

Go to the heaviest weight u can lift. now go 3 dumbells back pick it up and to 15 shrugs forward, 15 shrugs backwards. This is your first set now go to the next weight do the same thing and continue on. Just run the rack on doing shrugs this will add mass size to your traps bro along with all the other exercises everyone has posted

Oddly enough, the best thing that targets my traps is waiting around in an airport. Usually between ticket line, security, walking around, and waiting for a plane I'll have my heavy duffle bag slung over a shoulder for an hour or 2. I guess the extra downward force makes the traps constantly strained.
Either way, that's like a drawn out Farmer's Walk"Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right." -Henry Ford

no, now your just taking what he said way out of context, like *******s normally do. it doesnt really matter what trap exercise you do, theres not many of them anyway. doing shrugs with heavy weight is your best bet for building big traps.
your traps, like your calves and forearms, get worked indirectly every single day by doing normal things, so if you want them to grow in the gym you have to hit them with heavy ass weight because theyre used to all lighter indirect work they get every single day. thats all there is to it**********S ALWAYS NEG ME CREW***
