How many sets for each shoulder muscle?

[ThatBigSwole]

I only do 1 excercise 3 sets for each side. Why do people do 2-4 excercises for biceps but 1 for for side delts?
Any science to this?

[2hard2fixagain]

The only "science" to it is people want bigger biceps than any other muscle-ignorant people that is. Work two-three delt exercises per session. Mix in some compounds also (military press, incline press, etc). Don't neglect your anterior deltoid-most do.

I do:

3 Sets of Military Press
3 Sets of Seated Dumbbell Press
3 Sets of Lateral Raises
3 Sets of Facepulls
3 sets of Lying Incline Rear Delt Rows.

So 15 sets all together for my shoulders.

I believe not all muscles should be fully developed, or trained the same way. I believe all muscles groups r unique and should be trained as such. That being said shoulders have 3 tiny muscles. I dont directly train front delts often since they are easily developed and involved in all presses. So after I do presses i do side and rear laterals, because those are the heads that look impressive developed. I usually do between 9-14 sets for delts. 2-4 sets of presses, 3-5 sets aimed at the medial head( medium grip upright rows and side lats), and 4-6 for the posterior head.
