I'll probably get laughed at

Just started doing standing overhead barbell presses

50 lbs - 3 x 8, finished last set with 10 reps, will go up 5 lbs next session

standing overhead DB press - 25 lbs 2 x 10 (can do more if I don't start with barbell press first)

Incline bench DB - 45: 3 X 10
Flat bench DB - 50: 3 X 10

Barbell curls 40 lbs 3 x 10

Other upper body and back lifts are supplemental or machine work

Nobody is laughing. Many of us started with the empty bar. Keep at it.

You might consider switching from DB work to the barbell. I know your gym is a limiting factor right now, and DB work certainly beat no work.

It’s a good start. I used to hate working shoulders, but they are my best overall bodypart today.

Standing barbell press
Seated DB Press
DB Front Raise
DB Lateral Raise
DB Rear Raise

These have been my core shoulder movements for a loooong time; usually in the above order. I may toss in some machine lateral raises or machine shoulder press every now and again as a replacement to change it up.
