For my rugby training, I have a whole day of the week dedicated to neck and trap training. Shrugs are huge for this type of growth but I starting off I recommend doing on the floor exercises (kinda like neck crunches if that makes sense) then a couple weeks in you try adding weight. I tried going heavy with it straight up and it gave me terrible cramps and soreness so bad it was agony to turn my head side to side. Take care of your neck guys, you use it more than you think.

[@ASFIT_FAITH]

Dumbbell shrugs, behind the neck shrugs, and side neck curls.

[@RareAries323]

SOLWAY FIRTH by Slipknot seems to do it for me

[@beerscout9408]

I just went the easy route and identified as a person with bigger traps and a bigger neck. INSTANT intimidation.

I always got a good pump in my traps doing Arnold presses, I feel rotating your shoulders on ever rep engages your mid traps and pressing up hits your higher traps, nice shoulder and trap combo

[@SzatStrength]

ohhhhhh yeahhh they are good. I will do them this week.

[@therealjebus8376]

Possibly throw in some snatch grip high pulls.

[@SzatStrength]

ewwwwww I love it

[@harshavardnam7544]

Snatch grip high pull is the King 👑

[@10Cnote]

I have got some very good results first using deadlifts, barbell rows and weighted chin ups for my upper back and traps plus barbell strict presses and Josh Bryant’ Jailhouse strong neck movements and then using weight plates of the front of my neck and using a neck harness for the flexion. Also I want to say I do security work where looking like you could rip someone’s head off comes in handy and also I was always small and weak and my neck didn’t fell great after heavy deadlifts so I began training my neck to get some size and strength there and have made some great gains.

I've been doing Joel Waldman's manual neck resistance training combined with neck curls & extensions & boy I feel like m on Pump heaven.. Greatest pump I ever get after doing these, even greater than other body part's to be honest..! Also my Neck gains are also quite surprisingly impressive..!

[@ASFIT_FAITH]

Not to talk trash, but u see these big guys in the gym with skinny necks and it just doesn't look right, it's definitely important to train the neck. I was training neck 5 days a week when I started and now about 3 days. My neck went from 15 inches to 17 and a half inches, so I can definitely see and say my neck has gotten much thicker for sure. NECK DAY! Let's gooooo!! By the way this is my bro's account lol.

[@damnitfrank1305]

Laying chest down on an incline bench shrugging heavy dumbbells really trying to focus on the mid trap area or sitting down bent over like a rear delt fly position but doing heavy shrugs. Awesome vid Joe btw

[@shmeegs485]

Snatch pulls. All Olympic movements hit your traps in an amazing fashion, but these seemed to help me the most.

[@AndreaAustoni]

Snatch pulls or snatch high pulls?

[@SzatStrength]

snatches definitely get my traps some blood flow

[@shmeegs485]

Both work the traps in different functions. Snatch grip deadlifts seem to work the thickness portion of the traps. Snatch high pulls work the upper traps better than anything.

[@ryans4910]

When do you typically program farmer carries and trap bar shrugs? Do you program these movements on your deadlift day?

[@moisesgoncalves4585]

I can't give anybody tips on how to get bigger traps, but I really feel them during farmers and OHP, specially with higher volume

[@Ztuber564]

It’s nice that your liking and commenting on every comment. 🙏👍🏼

[@hotdogint]

Would you say neck extensions are required? Currently doing neck curls, and side neck curls. Along with power shrugs, at the knee rack pulls, RDLs, plenty of rear delt work, and rows. So overall quite a bit of trap/back of neck work from the non direct exercises. I've tried doing neck extensions but I find I can't recover from them fast enough and sometimes that leads to tweaking the neck the wrong way. Never during the excersise, but seemingly over night I can wake up with a stiff neck which can impead performance in the other lifts.

[@sleger74]

Ohp, snatch grip rack pull, farmers and neckflex. Once i added the neck flex i added over 2 inches to my neck with new viens and sirations popping all over the neck. I find that my neck got big real fast...

[@Blakk_Wolf7]

One of the areas that I'm lacking in, but I'm determined to get really strong at are my traps and my neck. So any & all help would be greatly appreciated
