Hi MFT crew,

I would like to know the kinds of workout you can do to improve your traps?
Personally, i feel my traps are kinda small (maybe u'll can take a look at my pics).

What i'm doing now is 3 sets of front barbell shrugs and 3 sets of back barbell shrugs (behind the back).

Try some Incline front

Try some Incline front raises on a incline bench where you would do incline DB press (thats alot of incline!), you'll be sitting backwards on it, (chest will be relaxed on the back support), and you'll be lifting your DBs straight ahead (kinda like Superman).

Then try some Trap laterals. Grab some DBs (go light). Use a underhand grip (your palm side will be facing the wall and your knuckles will be facing you). Shoulder length stance, and now raise the DBs up (the DB should come up to about your head) , and then lower them to your side.

Also single arm shrugs with a smith machine, place your hand in the middle of the bar, pull up, and squeeze that TRAP!

If are confused on how i explained this, let me know and i'll see if i can some pics.
