Shrugs, but dont do the circular motion shrugs. trap are the back of your neck and down. so squeeze your shoulders up and behind your neck. also do holds with them, if not all the time, some of the time. Holds can be anywhere from 1-3count holds

deads are also great for them

Really heavy partial Deads have served me well (280+), as have heavy Power Shrugs.

Deadlifts, power cleans and shrugs are 3 great options.

I am not a powerlifter nor am I a bodybuilder. I just want to be big and strong.
