All parts of your shoulders and traps. I no that was a bad answer but it's the truth. Make sure u hit each head or it can make u look slouched or skinny
There are only small delts and big delts. They get "rounded" as they grow.
make sure you hit the anterior, medial, and posterior heads to get the spherical rounding. i tend to do more volume here than mass. and although i need a shoulder replacement at some point, i'm going to have the roundest, bestest shoulders ever. :-)
Yates has a great video about working shoulder hit
K then how can i focus more on my rear delts,what are your fav exercises guys
Reverse peck deck reverse flies
Do a google search for Mountain Dog Shoulders
My fav are arnold shoulder press and upright row.
Seated bent over rear delt raises are gonna give you that feel that you worked out the rear delts more than any machine will ever give you.
Do face face pulls w/a long bar attachment and focus on squeezing your rear delts...
I'm assuming that by 'rounding' you mean as in posture(your front delts are pulling you forward - do you work at a desk)? your anterior delts are rounding b/c your back is much weaker than any of your pressing movements....
Surely, rear delts... Face down on a incline bench(rev) elbows out at a 90* angle & pull, rev flys, rev pec dec, lateral rear delt raises... Etc I have an imbalance from my R shoulder and I've worked my arse off on these - not lots of weight but definitely keep progressing over time!
Edit* also straight arm pulldowns are great(ISO's the lats, and that squeeze at the bottom of contraction hits those rears as well(at a different angle) I use these on back days but it'll still pull your rear delts into play...

I have found doing rear delt flies on the cable machine to be superior.
Full constant tension, excellent resistance curve, great ability to make adjustments, etc.
Also, if your back is a weak point you need to concentrate on your overall back thickness to combat your stronger chest(common theme) many of us get caught up in ego lifting for chest and we strengthen it moreso than our back... It will start to pull you forward, as well as your back is/has a much bigger muscle/(s) therefore it will pull everything back into place - but make sure you don't have a pre-existing injury that could be causing any of this rounding...
What rowing ex's do you do for back? and with what body part do you do traps with?
For me it was heavy heavy side laterals. I hardly ever military pressed. Hafta keep good form and lead with the elbowsOriginally Posted by fitguy
Upright rows as a finisher works very well if you can mentally isolate your shoulders.
Front military presses, behind the back upright rows are the most effective for me.
