Behind-the-back-ShrugToday I incorporated a couple exercises I used to do pretty regularly that dropped out of the rotation for quite awhile, reverse smith machine shrugs and prone curls.  When mixed with the pretty diverse variety of other movements in the workout I emerged from it feeling like my upper body was taxed pretty evenly.
