Deadlifts, Rows, Overhead Press, Food.

Ya know, I was going to say shrugs, but come to think of it, I dont really remember ever noticing how my traps became noticable until AFTER weeks of compound lifts and NO direct trap movements (shrugs).

Wait wait...damn maybe thats not true. My traps did become more noticable when I did one exercise of shrugs and one of Hise's. However, the volume was less and the compounds were more.

Admittedly, a lot of my trap development is due to genetics, but I've never done a trap isolation movement in my life. Deadlifts are the way to go.

deadlifts, snatches, rows

I'd like to add the farmer's walk to the list. Excellent for traps in my experience. Explosive lifts like the clean that involve a fast deadlift followed by a shrug are also effective.

deads rows shrugs, high pulls

Why would you do one side at a time? Seriously, I don't know. Seems to me you'd just double the amount of time it takes to finish your workout and you'd gain nothing.

Okay, hang on a minute, if you had one trap bigger than the other you could do shrugs on just that one side until it caught up. Otherwise, like I said, it seems like a waste of time to me.

I found hang-cleans often make my traps more sore than anything else.. Not that sore-ness necessarily means much...
