This topic has come up in a different thread and i thought it would be a good discussion topic.

A lot of people recommend for shoulders

OH Press
Side Laterals
Rear Delt Flys.

and thats the staple weekly shoulder routine. However there isnt really much compound work in there (the oh press is, but it is normally done slightly infront of the body which primarily hits the anterior delt). I have been training just OH Press three times a week, but having the dumbbells quite far back so as it hits the side delts too and its going well so far.

Trouble is, it is continually perpetuated that the shoulders are a small muscle group and so shoulnt receive much work. I am wondering what the members on here believe to be true.

How much shoulder work do you do and why ??
