Re: Traps
Unless your shoulders are as wide as ruhls and you need massive traps just to not look flat shouldered and you do heavy back work personally i see no need in every training the traps directly.
That said i often do a light set of 30 reps or so just to reduce cramping the next day after heavy deadlifts.

....shoulder the bar as if your gonna do a squat. Inhale and shrug the bar up towards the ears. Great for extra growth and a change from regular shrugs.

I have found that it make the traps real tight afterwards though (thats what the physio says anyway!)

Is there any thing else i can do that will help them that im not currently doing?

Cheers
there could be a few things to consider here

1 maybe not the low reps finish keep it higher reps
2 changing the routine...super sets drop sets ect
3 your routine if you do traps with back then do shoulders you may not be resting them well
4 your general form on shrugs...most go to heavy and low movement i belive in full movement pulling with the traps dont let the arms move at all
