What do you guys do for your traps besides the obvious barbell/dumbbell shrugs ?

 

I hold a 45lbs plate in each hand and take a really slow walk around the perimeter of my gym.

 

Nice, I have never done that but do hold a 45 in each hand and do side crunches, and I notice a pump and burn towards the end in my traps

 

i do something similiar to this. if im working out with a partner i'll grab 45's and just shrug until its my set again, but the whole time in the gym. kills it everytime

 

We've got this machine:



I sit on my knees on the flat bench and load up 315 and go to town. I like it more than standard shrugs because you don't have to worry about grip as much as focusing on your traps.

 

For traps I go heavy on presses and just do front shrugs and back shrugs.. dont need to reinvent the wheel ... swimming would help too

 

pick up squat rack, walk around the gym with it, set it back down

if that's too light, put 6 more 45 plates on it

 

Yeah we have a sitting shrug machine that I use on top of traditional barbell shrugs.

when I first starting lifting one of my first muscles that got big were my traps so they really looked big but now that my shoulders,bis,chest are getting bigger and more defined, my traps are starting to blend in and not so trapasauresrex im a trap guy no homo

 

no fucks given

 

My traps and shoulders grow great, I just can't get my bitch ass arms to grow.

 

Ignorant bastards

there is this one older guy that's like 45 that goes to my gym and this guy is a fucking brick shit house, and he has the biggest most defined traps I have ever seen just walking into the gym, not even with a pump. I have trap envy

 

I thought it looked wrong

FTFY

I bet you get alot of looks doing that

That pump and burn is when you need to go at it for 10 more reps. Kill them motherfuckers, COMMAND THEM TO GROW!

This is what I do between my own sets

My chest, legs, lats, shoulders grow great my arms bitch out like pussys followed by my traps. Mix breed Mesican kid issues.

There is this guy that has enormous traps at my gym, cut like a mofo, cept his are so disproportionate to his lower body that he looks like a fucking alien. He definitely did it wrong

 

the guy at my gym calfs are bigger then my head. He is an all around monster, and a parole officer. Good luck convicts lol

 

Met a guy like that in tents, he was the night officer. Brick fuckin shit house. Made me man jelly.

 

Someone skipped leg day:

 

They never learn!

 

FTFY
