Workout Folks, let's hear what your shoulder routine looks like

Doing shoulders later on today, and I need some inspiration. Front deltoids? Side deltoids? Rear deltoids?

I'm currently only doing heavy presses, but I know what you mean.

I like incline front barbell raises and the various cable shoulder raises. I worry about the side raises and impingement, although that's a concern in the front with heavy weight and spotty form. Cables tend to promote good form, at least with me. You can do the bent over rear delt cable raise, but you can also get a good, overall shoulder isolation workout with just the standing shoulder cable raise.

You can also do alternating dumbbell presses.

I don't have access to heavy weights just dumbells up to 50 lbs. So I super set these:

Alternating Arnold Press / external rotations

then

Alternating front and side lateral raises / Cuban Press

Today I will do dumbbell upright row and superset with overhead press for 4 sets. After that will do 4 sets of drop sets using cable flys and then gtfo there and drink beer for Thurs night football like a true American.

I like uprights with dumbbells better than any other way.

Anyone do the upright rows using dumb bells?? I've tried with barbells

---

I don't like doing things that are hard either.

Military press
Arnold press
Lateral raises
Standing dumbell upright row
Bent over rear delt raises

Military press: 5x5
Side DB raises: 3x10
Upright rows: 3x10
One arm cable lateral raise: 2x15
Reverse flyes: 3x10

I only do 1 exercise for front and rear since I hit them with chest and back.

You are doing 22 sets just on your shoulders? Why would you do this? Sometimes this place is pretty astounding.
