For me, the exercise choice on chest and shoulders is based on the torn pec. I can do most exercises on shoulders but my all time favorite workout is:

Smith Military Press - 1 working set 6-8 reps, drop weight by 25% and hit as many reps as possible
DB Side Laterals - same as above
DB Rear Laterals - 1 working set 8-12 reps

I work them with chest, triceps, back width, back thickness.

Phil made me realise that if you are doing pressing exercises for your triceps and chest you really only need to do heavy laterals raises for shoulders... It works!!!

I was about to say the say thing, lol. That pic kills me every time.

My shoulders are my far my best body part. Hell last month they got so big and wide I couldn't fit into an MRI machine, and they had to send me fifty miles away to an open MRI. So therefore I hate every shoulder exercise! It's also a bodypart for me that is very prone to injury!

 

[Pheedno]

Either with Back or Chest, sometimes triceps

1 Compound, 1 accessory. Progressive on reps or weight. 1 working set

Behind the Neck press in smith is probably my favorite

 

[ojs]

I like doing shoulders all by themselves. My favorite is 1-2 sets of light dumbbell side laterals 20-25 reps
Then 2 good working sets of One-Arm Dumbbell Over-Head Presses as heavy as I can go for 4-6 reps

...if it takes me longer than 10 minutes to obliterate my delts, I'm just not focusing.

 

[tri-terror]

Standing military press couple warm up and 3 work sets for 5/3/1
Incline bench or DB depending on what I feel like for 3-4 sets 8-10 reps
Upright rows 3-4 sets 10-12 reps
some form of laterals be it standing, seated or cable 3 sets 10-12 reps

 

[Flex2019]

Smith Machine Press 3 sets 8-12 reps
Wide grip upright Row/BB or Cable 3 sets 8-12 reps
DB Side Lateral 3 sets 12-16 reps
Rope front raise on a low pulley 2 sets 12-16 reps

Sometimes finish off with a set of light seated side laterals for 20 reps or a long drop set of standing side laterals.

+1. Incline BB and CG Bench works the front delts pretty hard and rows hit the rear delts nicely. I only do DB side laterals now for direct shoulder work.

I do my workout,,in order,, CHEST/SHOULDERS/TRICEPS
I like overhead presses for shoulders. I normally use DB'S but
lately have been using the hammer strength overhead shoulder press
machine.

I really like the hammer overhead press too!

Now here is a South Florida Freak's secret I stole! Shhh
I got this one from Jason Huh:
Standing thick handle one arm overhead Press on the Hammer Strength Low Row Machine! You use the bar where you load the plates as the handle and do 3/4 reps (all the way down, 3/4 of the way up)! Front and side delts are lit up with the unique arc of the machine.

I do Front and side delts after Chest.....
Rear delts and traps after back...

Db side laterals 2 sets x 10-14, then 1 drop sets running the rack (4 drops)
Jason Huh Presses 2 sets x 8-14 to failure
Side lateral machine one 100 rep set

Okay I thought this was a serious thread and then I get to see a pink sheep and where the f--k did you guys get all those pictures, that had me going.

BTW, I do shoulders with traps

Shoulders
Overhead presses 4 sets and the final set I do a drop set for 3 sets
Bent over laterals 3 working sets of 8-12 reps
Side laterals single arm, I hold onto a upright bench and lean to the side which puts more stress onto the medial head

Traps
3 sets dumbell shrugs
3 sets barbell behind the badk with reverse grip shrugs
