Hey, this question might sound really dumb but for Bill Starr's 5x5, I noticed that there is only 1 shoulder exercise.
I'm looking to build broader shoulders (aka canon ball shoulders) but i'm just wondering if military press alone, is enough for broader shoulder development.
I'm going to put calf raises on tue-thur-sat. just calf raises since my calves are relatively small.
That wouldn't do too much harm would it?

pressing 3x per week will build your shoulders...........
you bench twice and military press once.
and add in some assistance.
I've done calves on off days before, didn't seem to hurt anything.

I'm not sure which of Bill Starr's 5x5 you're doing, but this here explains why he chose the Bench press in his 5x5 beginner routine:
