How is this for a shoulder workout?

*Increasing weight each set and the last set will be to failure (usually I hit the desired number of reps)

Seated overhead barbell press or Seated overhead dumbell press 10,8,6
Standing barbell front raises or Seated dumbell front raises 12,10,8
Wide grip upright rows or Seated lateral raises or Lateral raise machine 12,10,8
Seated bent over reverse flys or Standing bent over reverse flys or Reverse pec deck flys
External rotation machine or Seated dumbell upright external rotation (rotator cuffs) 14,12,10
Barbell shrugs 12,10,8

How does this look?

looks real good bro. add internal rotation for the rotator cuff as well.

If I were to pick the best out of those

stick to the dumbbell presses
db front raises
db lateral raises
barbell rear delt rows (i believe they don't let you go past the desired range of motion and give you less chance of injury)
internal/external cable rotation

thats a perfect shoulder workout, covers EVERYTHING

do barbell over head press instead of dumbell to prevent injury, trust me i would have done this a long time ago
front raises are kind of redundant being that overhead presses work your front delts

this is my shoulder routine from which i have seen great results
barbell shoulder press - 10, 8, 8, 6
lateral raises - 10, 8, 8, 8
reverse flies - 10, 8, 8, 8

i do shrugs on back day

Why do you think that a barbell is safer?

I am just wondering because I prefer dumbells much more than barbells for overhead pressing. The dumbells allow me to press through a natural range of motion. You have been injured using dumbells?

something happened to my shoulder once i went heavy on dumbells and it popped out of joint every time i tried to do my first rep...JMO heavy dumbells can cause joint problems...ive had problems before with flat bench as well

IMO it looks like xcess since shoulders can be fully stimulated w/ an overhead press alone. but hey if it works great if it doesnt DECREASE UR WORK LOAD!

[taiboxa]

bb is great for size but much more injury prone due to the unnatural RoM it puts on the rotator cuff

I was curious about this too. Why would barbell overhead presses be safer than dumbell?
