Tip: Build Traps in the Calf Machine

Position yourself normally in a standing calf machine.
Shrug your traps up. Hold the top position for a full two-second count. This is important because the range of motion is short on this exercise.
Keep your glutes and abs tight to protect the lower back.

A variety of set/rep ranges will work with this exercise. Give it a shot!
