Hey guys, just did a shoulder workout last night and did a few rear delt flyes, woke up today and my traps are a bit sore...

I also did upright rows last night, but they have never really hit my traps that well.

Anyway, when do you guys work your rear delts? I'm thinking about changing mine to back day.

Don't change your rear delt workouts to back day because they do indeed belong in shoulder day. Your traps are sore because when performing bent lateral raises (or incline lateral raises) it is important that you keep your shoulders down or the trapezius does the majority of the lifting.

As for your traps, be sure to incorprate shrugs (dumbell shrugs if upright rows don't work for you) as well as T-bar rows because your traps don't just sit on your shoulders, they ride piggyback on you as well.

that's when I do them as it makes the most sense. your rear delts are used heavily in any rowing type movements. not quite sure why your traps would be sore after doing shoulders, sounds like your form is off. you are hitting your traps on back day, right ?

Mine are definately on back day as well

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
