My traps didnt start to really get big until I started doing dumbbell upright rows. The pump is insane.

Barbell shrugs and one arm dumbbell raises

deads and hi pulls, upright row. Sometimes upright row can be tough on the shoulders.

 

[alexus hensicus]

Lat pulldowns behind the behind the head can target the lower part of the trapezius muscle.

no need to go higher than your nipples with the bar. the point of the exercise is for the traps and shoulders, once your upper arms and shoulders are parallel with the floor you've gone high enough. any higher and you're asking for an injury
