I’m doing a 4 day upper lower (A and B w/o) split. On the 1st upper day I do push presses. On the second I’m debating weather to do front later raised (DB or plate) or side lateral raises. Which of the 2 do you find more beneficial towards overall shoulder development?
Thanks for any input.

Most people neglect side delts, because the don't get hit indirectly like the front and rear delts. You have to look in the mirror and decide what's lacking. There's no rule against doing both though, but you won't need as much volume on front delts. I like doing close grip front raises with a barbell.I don't know either lol

I’m currently doing FortifiedIron’s Hypertrophy 2.0 routine, in which he recommends front plate raises… if that changes anything.

throw front raises into the pit with kickbacks and flyes...
they're ok if you're new.. but if ur out of the beginner stage, i would say the combo of bench pressing and shoulder pressing is all you will need for your front delts... lateral raises is another story, big necessity to do those as mentioned they dont get stimulated enough from other lifts including compoundsMy journal http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=5662511

now I am going to try to keep this from becoming our usual arguing.Granted that there's no rule against doing both but chances are he's doing any sort of combo of incline/flat db/bb pressing, closegrip pressing, dips, shoulder press. All which hit the anterior delt pretty hard so yes if you want to contribute to more back/shoulder problems by doing more isolating front work, go ahead. Just remember that he has got to do more rowing then front delt raises. Now if he was talking pressing power, he MAY have to do front plate reaises but in terms of hypertrohpy and strength if is training is where it shoul dbe there is zero need for front delt isolationChicks dig big calves

Lateral raises are a staple of my shoulder workout. I like how they build shoulder width. If I ever use front raises it will be as a finishing movement for delt day. The only use I find in front raises is to shape my front delts but I'll always do a pressing movement for my front delts first (usually military presses).

"Eat big to get big."
"Deadlift and grow."

The weird thing is, when I do laterals I get a pump in my side delts.
But with front raises (either with barbell or a plate) to forehead height I get a really good pump in my side and rear delts. I also think that front raises are a more natural movement for the shoulder joint than laterals are.
