I tried to make it clear in the original post that front delt isnt important here, e.g. pressing, seeing as everybody does a lot of that anyway, and Im looking for inspiration for side and rear
Ok, thing is that I will have done either DE or ME bench, followed by a heavy triceps exercise (3-6 reps) followed by a lighter triceps exercise (8-12 reps) and a light lat exercise before I get to the shoulder.
So military pressing and such doesnt seem like the best thing here, I could maybe use it as one of the tri exercises in a cycle at some point, but in this context it doesnt seem optimal to categories it as a shoulder exercise.
Facepulls are great. Can do them as extra work pretty any time of day/week. Same with band pull-aparts.
I recently started doing cable rows and I get extemely sore in my rear delts. I guess I have a strong upper back and lats, and so those muscles are stimulated as much by the load, but wow, I am really sore in my rear delts.
I now consider cable rows as a great rear-delt exercise.
And as far as military, they hit your traps, upper back, as well as the delts. You can rotate them in.
