Incorporate heavy barbell or dumbbell rows and shrugs into your current back routine.

Do NOT use straps for the rows but DO use them for the shrugs.

Your shrugs should be explosive and use a weight that is heavier than your 1RM deadlift.

Shoot for the following work-sets:

Shrugs 3-6 sets of 3-5reps

Rows 2-4sets of 10-20reps

Make sure to shrug the way your trapezius is meant to move your scapula, shoulderblades pinched, shoulders going up and BACK. Do NOT round your shoulders, roll them or make them hit your cheeks. This would suggest you have a low IQ.

It's also a popular misunderstanding of human anatomy.
