Trap Exercises
The traps run from your neck out to your shoulders and down your upper back. The upper part is the one you can see. It shrugs your shoulders and holds a heavy bar in your hands.
Shrugs are simple and hard to get wrong. Deadlifts and farmer's walks train the traps without a single shrug, so if you already do those, add shrugs last in the session.
