If you could pick only 5 exercises...

[jhende82]

Incline Bench
Behind the neck presses
Pull ups
Front Squat
T Bar Rows

 

[aflo]

Incline DB press
Lateral raise
Wide grip pull down
Leg press
Machine prechur

My list is NOT hardcore compared to u all!

 

[B-Trotter]

full squats, 20 to 50 reps
dips - weighted
chin-ups - weighted
overhead presses – bb or db
curls – bb or db

1 to 3 sets to muscular failure,
3X per week with a day off in
between.

If that fails, reduce the number
of sets and / or the number of
training days per week.

Eat when hungry. Maintain a
balanced diet, zero 'supplements'
for now . . .

Do you feel that overhead pressing is better for delt growth than high incline presses?

 

[alfresco]

my opinion

Do you feel that overhead pressing is better for delt growth than high incline presses?

Yes, much better.

Behind the neck presses are even better if you can do them.

...to perform for the rest of your training life to build the most mass possible, what would yours be? This isn't about what's the best overall exercise for development, but what's the best 5 exercises to build the most mass for you.

Mine would be, in no particular order:

Machine Dips
Swiss Bar Rows
Squats
Fat Bar Curls
High Incline Bench

Deadlifts
Squats
Bench Press
Power Cleans
Leg Press

....and enough food to satisfy Siberian Tiger!

 

[Pull Freak]

Deads, squats, pull ups, bb rows, and standing over head press.

 

[Dvo36]

It's a tough question because we all have injuries where certain exercises aren't good. However, that same exercise would be appropriate for others.

 

[Snuka]

Deads, squats, barbell rows (under hand grip), bench, military press

 

[UseButDontAbuse]

Pull ups
Incline Bench Press
Side Laterals
Squats
Dumbell Shoulder Press

Shoulder/Chest/Arms Focus

 

[biffnbash]

1. Squat
2. Incline BB Press
3. Barbell Bentover Row
4. Lateral Raises
5. Preacher Curl/Dips

This^ but lat raises would be switched for Db upright row.

 

[kinglewy]

Flat bench
Dips
Squat
reverse grip pull down
deadlift

 

[devenidas]

dumbbell Floor Presses
decline dumbbell press
Squat
dumbbell raises ( delts)
Straight bar pulldowns ( shoulder width)

 

[Karam]

Squats，Pull up, High Incline Bench, Lateral Raises, Military press

 

[wizim]

squat
clean
bench
shoulder press
pull up

 

[jrock00123]

1) Deadlift with trap bar
2) Overhead press
3) Squat
4) Lat pulldown machine with chin-up grip
5) The last one is tough. Personally, my left shoulder won't allow heavy benching of any type otherwise flat bench press would be my selection. I think I'll go with cable flys.

I would hate not being able to do direct bicep or rear delt work.
