that's exactly why i got the trap bar, allows you to concentrate on the weight not your position and posture.

how about my trap bar, great ergonomics and you can load it up
Nice contraption, never used it myself... I love throwing in some rear shrugs, now those will tear a valley down the back !

My traps never "took off" in size until I started doing Rack Deads 'a la Doggcrap.

It's essentially a partial deadlift in a power cage...
Place the pins in the cage so that when the bar is resting on it it's located just barely above your knee. Perform the deadlift with the same form as the traditional one from the floor. This adaptation allows you to use significantly more weight while taking your thighs out of the movement to a great degree. Your mid-upper back is getting a large amount of increased training load. You should not only notice increased trap development but a significant increase in overall back thickness (paraspinals, rhomboids, etc).

I'm not DocJ, but you can also do it on a Smith-Machine.
