    Are you on gear? I think you're doing too much man.

    Try doing:

    barbell shoulder press 2 sets
    dumbell shoulder press 2 sets
    lateral raises 3 sets

    Personally I love the smith for barbell shoulder press, can really pack on the weights.

    good suggestions

    if you wanna bring out your front deltoid dry doing

    2 sets dumbell shoulder press, rep range 6-8
    then 1-2 sets of machine shoulder press, reps 8-10 (focus on a smooth movement with this exercise, slow down with the negative motion, and force it back up, then repeat)

    for middle deltoid, try upright rows but use a grip just (about 2cm each arm) within your shoulder span

    do 1 set 10 reps

    rest 3 minutes

    2nd set 8 reps, and superset it with 10 dumbell lateral raises

    3rd set 8 reps, drop seted with another 4 reps


    your rear delts should be training on back day, not your shoulder day

    ouch thats dissapointing workout lol

    okay new workout
    Workout A
    2 sets pull ups using a v bar, rep 5-7 (add weight to urself to you fall in this rep range)
    1 set pull ups wide grip, reps 6-8 (not to wide, just comfortable) (add weight to urself to you fall in this rep range)

    then alternate between workout B, and C each week

    workout B
    1 set pull ups, (with hammer grip) reps 8-10
    3 sets bent over t bar rows, rep 6, 8, 8
    2 sets cable row with lat pull down bar (wide grip)
    3 sets barbell shrugs, reps 8, 10, 12
    2 sets reverse fly on peck deck reps 8, 10

    Workout C
    5 sets deadlift reps 8, 6, 5, 10, 8
    2 sets barbell shrugs reps, 12, 15
    2 sets reverse fly on peck deck

    so the workout split would look like

    week 1: workout A, B
    week 2: workout A, C
    week 3: workout A, B
    week 4: workout A, C
    etc
