Help with Trapezius muscle workout

What is the best exercise to target these things, they seem to progress slower than the rest of things?

Re: Help with Trapezius muscle workout

do you deadlift mate?

if not then standing shrugs DB or BB isolate the traps nicley,...

i also do a kind of reverse flye/shrug....

like you would do for rear delts, bent over , with db's (or cables)...but squeeze the traps together at the top of the movement.

TBH,.. OSC is probly th best guy to ask....he'll have a gem of an exercise in a old book sowewhere...

Re: Help with Trapezius muscle workout

I should have included more info about me, sorry bud. I had back surgery a few years back and dead lifts I am afraid to do, I don't want to put myself out of action. I have read about the hise method on the standing calf machine. I may try that.

Re: Help with Trapezius muscle workout

ok mate,...

well most of what i advised is out then,...lol

tho sometimes i do the bent over rear delt thing but laid face down on an inclined bench,...

spose this would take out the pressure on the spine,...

i reckon even the calf machine shrugs will load up the back mate...

be careful and keep all the new exercises light to begin with,...

Re: Help with Trapezius muscle workout

also theres one i use where your on the sitting down v bar pull towards you back workout one, instead of pulling it back and using your biceps, just shrug it backwards, i find this one useful.

Re: Help with Trapezius muscle workout

i have a severe back injury and also cannot do normal deads.....try sitting down on abench and holding DB in your hands then shrug it is very good at targeting the trap muscle..

Thanx for the word of caution, just wondering... what would be the symptoms of impending disaster?
