Reply With QuoteI would probably work my shoulders first. I tend to cram traps near the end of my workout, if I even work them directly.
Train which first: Shoulders or Traps?

Which would you train first, if you were doing both on the same day: Shoulders or Traps?

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Same
What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

I would rotate it...

I train traps with back
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

DD is probably right. Another idea is to prioritize the smaller/weaker body part first.

I always do them at the end of my shoulder workout because it makes me so tired to work my traps

It's not a matter of the body adjusting to it... it's a matter of which part, if any, is getting a little neglected in that workout. By rotating the sequence, you'll hit the traps harder one day, and maybe slightly less the next time around.
