Big Traps

I haven't tried it, but I read an interesting suggestion a while ago for doing shrugs ... on a standing calf raise machine.

You stand with the pads on your shoulders as you would doing calf raises, but instead of raising with your calves you use only your shoulders.

It sounds feasible - plus it means you don't have to worry about losing your grip using dumbbells or a bar.

the standing calf raise machine one sounds like a good idea. i hate holding the 40kg dumbells beause they always start to slip out of my hands before i can finish a set
