i might be late but i too agree with Jake. deads dont isolate the traps but they certainly stimulate them. i find that deads stimulate most of the upper body. though this isnt enough to effectively increase the size of the traps, it is a great pre-exhaustion technique...if you catch my drift lol
Then your not doing enough weight to stimulate them Kenney.. lol,,j/k

Agree 100%. Heavy deads really blow my traps up. Shrugs and upright rows have their place, but those deads really work good for traps.
Here is a quote from David Robson. Hes quite an accomplished guy and has been around the block for sure. I trust his opinion very much.
Quote:
Upon completion, at the top of the movement, the shoulders are pulled back slightly which stresses them along with the trapezius. Big deadlifters are renowned by their massive shoulder and trap development
Here is anothe link to his article on deads that I have in another thread right now.
Hmm...
Am I the only one that don't feel it in my Traps when doing Deads...No-one can say I train light coz I always train heavy Deads over 500lbs

Has anyone ever got on a standing calf raise machine and just stood up under it and did shrugs using the weight on that machine.I love doing that after my reg shrugs.IDK but it seems to hit them a little different and you dont have to worry about your grip.
