    Can I grow my side delts without lateral raises?

    I've had this pain in both my shoulders for almost 5 years now and there's nothing I can do. I can't do lateral raises even with a 5lb dumbbell.

    I do full body workouts, and I can do 1 or maybe 2 shoulder exercises every 2 days.

    I've noticed there's almost no gainz on my side delts, although the front and back are improving. I tried doing upright rows but I've seen too many people criticizing the workout. I do military press and they only hit the front shoulders.

    Is it possible to grow the sides without doing side raises?

    Did you see a doctor about your pain?
    Shoulder press hits front and side deltoids, doing behind the head presses give you a bit more contraction in side delts imo.

    Can you build hams without leg curls? Might want to see a doctor though, may be bone spurs or something.

    yes. seated strict dumbbell press. the mechanics will be very similar to behind the neck press without the dangers
