Dumbbell shrugs
If you specifically need trap development and strength, adding shrugs into your routine can create a lot of muscle and strength development in that area. Sometimes weakness in the traps is the only thing holding your functional lifts like Cleans or Snatches back and a little bit of extra trap work can make all the difference in the world.
Simply grab a set of dumbbells, stand with them hanging at your sides, and then shrug your shoulders upwards as high as you can. Lower your shoulders again and repeat for the planned number of reps.
