I found i work traps alot more if i bring my shoulers up and back instead of just straight up. You can try it without any weight to notice the difference.

Best exercise for traps once you need to lift substantial weight to gain results. DB shrug is better however if you are still shrugging under 200 pounds or 90 kilograms.

This is probably my favorite exercise for the traps. When I do these kinds of shrugs, I can really feel the burn in my traps and that I'm really working them. A good way to use this exercise with more weight is with wrist straps. I take the strap and wrap it underneath the bar, rather than over the the bar. I've found this technique gives me a better grip with more weight, just make sure you are using a weight belt for your back!!!-See Less
