Best Exercises for Shouders...

Alright, so I have a little dilemma here about building my shoulders. I've previously have had a dislocated shoulder in the past and I find certain exercises really aggravate it. Any suggestions on ones that won't make this previous injury worse?

I've currently been doing front raises with dumbbells, shoulder presses with dumbbells and with the machine, as well as front cable raises.

Stick to the basics. The lifts u are currently doing are fine and if they dont aggrivate your shoulder they are perfect.

I'd prolly throw in some light weight side laterals and bent over rear laterals, both with dumbells, but other than that stick with what you're doin and give it some time.

Thumbs up

How many exercises should I be doing? Right now I'm doing three exercises with 3 sets of 10-12 reps. Is this enough? I really want nice rounded shoulders.

For you, I would keep it to 3-4 exercises. That being said, I like changing up shoulders so I can build them evenly.

I think thats def enough. The shoulder muscles are not very big muscles at all. Plus you use them for bench and other movements. Three is plenty.

Al, can you at least take the time to make a legitimate list? Providing only 2 exercises doesn't help anyone.
