Farmers walks, shrugs with straps, barbell behind the back shrugs, high pulls, timed holds, partial deads off blocks, etc, etc....

try doing shrugs and uprigth rows dropping the weight a little and actually holding for a second at the top of the motion

Heavy deadlifts, bent over rows and shrugs.... in that order

TBH try varying all the different exercises that you do as this will keep the body guessing and TBH i tend to find that this method is the best IMO

Cheers for the advice, i few of them in there i have'nt tried before so it will be good for a change which is what i was looking for

@ Ethos - Heavy deadlifts, bent over rows and shrugs. That was what i was currently doing and is a cracking trap routine

You should be getting sufficient trapezium work from deadlifting, if not I would just throw in some shrugs.
