And reason for the traps is my traps are seriously lagging behind (or my shoulders are just growing too fast). Looks kinda unproportional. I don't mind broader looking shoulders, but my traps are nearly nonexistent lol.

It depends on what you want to do for that day. I'd recommend low volume heavy sets. For example, some days I'll squat 225 lbs. for reps. Other days I might do sets of 3 @ 375 lbs. (..
and only drop down to 225 lbs. after I've exhausted myself to the point where I can only rep 375 lbs. once). Spend more time in lower rep -
2 to 4 reps - range with heavier weight. Don't worry about sets per se. If you get through 4 sets of low rep/heavy weight and still feel like you have plenty of gas, keep on going.
If your traps are lacking, overhead press more.
