that list is just a dozen variations on shrugs. b/c they're the only way to isolate the traps. and dangerous on your shoulders if you don't do them properly.

do deadlifts, heavy, with proper form and your traps will get all they can handle at the top of the motion.

Clean and jerk.

Better.

Deadlifts work very well for me. Make sure you do them heavy and with good form. Your traps get worked at the top of the motion.

Deadlifts & cleans.

Get your deadlift to 400lbs for 5-10 reps.

You could also do upright rows with a wider grip, and are you using wrist wraps? They are def worth the money when doing shrugs, dead lifts, dumbell rows, etc...
