I train them with shoulders, but some people train them with back.

Mostly with back for me but it just depends on what I'm trying to work on more.

I think for me at least working traps with back makes more sense. after all it is part of your back.

It's really an individual thing, but I train mine with shoulders

I do it with back, because I do them in the box. The unstrapped grip on the heavy bar allows me to incorporate a little forearm work, eventhough indirectly - Especially great with my pull day.

Just make deadlifts the basis of your back routine and you won't need to do any extra trap work.

My traps grow quite nicely, thank you.

Hi guys,
I also train mine on shoulder day. Seems to be working ok so far.

Depends on what exercises I am using for that particular training cycle.If I'm doing upright rows or shrugs, I'll train my traps on shoulder day.If I'm doing power cleans or hang cleans, I'll work traps on leg day.

Just switched for back to Shoulders... I like it better with shoulders

it's a back muscle.
I rarely do direct trap work now. Shrugs every 3rd week or so. No deads right now.
rows hit them nicely imo.

I don't do shrugs or any exercise for my traps.

Do One Arm Rows and Bend Over Barbell Rows work alot on the Traps as well? If that's the case, shouldn't I dump this 2 exercises during my Back workout if I'm training Traps with Shoulders instead?

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! If anything you should dump the direct trap work. DO NOT give up rowing movements, they will make your entire back/shoulder region big. Squats, dead lifts, some kind of press, some kind of rows are the big four; give up an isolation movement before giving up one of the big four.
