shoulder presses for width...?
if you look at the mechanics or the shoulder muscles and the way the fibers run and actually flex, when you're doing shoulder presses the load is prety much taken by the anterior delt. I know that the medial head may act as a support group but by how much during pressing? enough to spark growth in that area? in my opinion the only way to properly add width to the medial head is with heavy laterals, and upright rows ...??? but someone correct me if im wrong.

I get better results from side laterals aswell. I'm not big on front presses; they seem to put alot of stress on my joints.

ive read that upright rows is better then presses for muscle involvement but i would say depends on person, some people can just do shoulder press and hardly anything else and develope nice shoulders while others need to try different methods...or should i say protocols....try different things and see what happens

Actually, when performing db presses on a 90deg bench and raising in a arch not quite touching the db ends no lockout,hands pronated(keeping stress on shoulders) works the medial delt and not the anterior as the primary muscle. Traps are also worked. I am sure some will disagree with my statement. Yes, the front delt is worked but not the primary. Begin lowering the bench angle starts to target the front delts a bit more and around 45-70deg really starts to hit it.
