Are Shrugs Really the Best Exercise for Traps?

When you think of building a complete physique, one thing you need are impressive traps — those thick, mountainous muscles that sit between your neck and shoulders. The first trap exercise that probably comes to mind is the classic shrug, whether that be barbell or dumbbell. It’s a staple in gyms everywhere.

Sometimes this may prevent you from pushing yourself to your fullest capability, or you’re afraid if you injure yourself you’ll lose all your progress. 

If you’ve recently had a tweak, sprain, or strain in the gym or want to know what to do in case that happens, our team at Generation Iron has put together a guide covering the acronym “RICE” (rest, ice compression, elevation), which is used to treat various injuries.
