depends on how 'expieranced" you are..
only trap work i get is from deadlifts....and cheerleading.

Deadlift and clean. I have appreciable traps, even for a lightweight, and that is all I do.

Besides that, I do very little "direct" work.

Iron and chalk.

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.

Doing some shrugs in between sets here and there is easy if you don't want to dedicate a lot of time to them.

if your really worried bout it just do a shrug at the top of your deadlifts or something. but they should get plenty of work during cleans/deadlifts as is.
