back and shoulders. lower trapz on back day and upper trapz on shoulder day. i've seen nice muscle separation between the upper and lower trapz from doing it this way. or it might just be striations.lol
castroajThat makes much more sense !
I always do them with back day, straps right after deadlifts and barbell rows.
Shoulders and only shoulders. By the time I'm finished with my shoulder workout, I always have a retarded pump in my traps already, so that's a great time to really isolate them with a little bit of heavy ass shrugs. I exclusively do barbell shrugs 4 sets for 10-12 reps. It's the only shrugging movement that makes my traps sore as a mofo afterwards. I had to stop doing legs the next day because it hurt to much to put the bar on my back haha
traps and shoulders same day for me
I'm new to eroids but I've been fighting the iron for a long time. If I have one bodypart that always seems to outgrow everything else it's my traps. I always hit them on shoulder days and firmly believe that the best way to hit them is by doing shrugs on a smith machine BEHIND your back. Get some straps to help with grip and make sure your posture is good or you can pull your back. Ive done it twice trying to be super man. Another good one is your normal dumbbell shrugs but try them seated. It helps keep you from cheating. Good luck bro.
Anoni like shouldes bc this muscle group will be incorporated to some extent durning a lot of the shoulder exercises. by not overloading them, you'll only be cheating yourself.
Shoulders day ALWAYS.... Back is waaay more work than my shoulders so they fit great on shoulder days... Gotta hit those traps to balance out that physique.;)... But it im into isolating every muscle group since im into bodybuilding.
I used to work them on back days, but my grip was shot from all the rows and pull downs to do shrugs, so now I work them on shoulder days.
gotta get those straps bro! i used to do them on shoulder day too, only thing is i don't work out my shoulders at all anymore...so its got to be on back day
I bring my straps with me but I try to use them as little as possible, maybe just for my last 2 sets of shrugs for 8 reps.
yup the only time i use them is for shrugs and heavy barbell rows
i do them with back, its an awesome feeling to get a good pump in your traps
Usually I do shrugs on back day and upright rows on shoulder day.
Besides deadlifts alone help alot
1jakd_hipyI don't believe in isolating traps, mostly because when I do they get retarded big. They get plenty of work from just working up back. I'm also not the bodybuilder type so that may play a role but I really see no point in isolating them, they serve very little purpose.
