My traps picked up a decent amount of growth once I started the olympic lifts.

Remember those old school pec dek machines with the elbow at a 90 degree angle? If you can find one that has a 180 degree arc and do it backwards it is insanely good for the traps. You can also improvise the movement with bands.
