Trapezius:

the upper trapezius is best trained with SHRUGS.

DB or Cable shrugs. Super heavy shrugs are largely waste of time, youd be better off deadlifting

The upper traps are attached to the CLAVICLES & scapula, not shoulders, raise clavicles high as possible on every rep

John Meadows has best advice on shrugs

Use DBs
Pause at top
Moderate weight, moderate reps 8-15

Middle and Lower Traps:

For mid traps, best compound is seated row with overhand pronated grip

recommend 8-12 rep range for these

John Meadows shows a version with independent handles

If you want to target lower traps directly, the Y-raise is the best exercise

Long lever arm means weight will always be light, best done for 10-15
