    A friend of mine has her Pro card and actually posted a brief youtube video with her should routine. It's simple, short, and to the point. I've tried it and it worked my shoulders pretty well!

    Her name is Tabitha and her handle is Tabifit.

    Here's the link!

    I have found the deep swimmers press to be good for "shaping' the shoulder

    Overhead press, arnold press, Y press are all going to hit slightly different parts of the shoulder.

    Clean and press will work a whole bunch of muscles in roughly the same amount of time

    Now we're talking about definition and appearance and not strength. Using Shoulder Press and Barbell Rows is good for establishing a base but unfortunately you're probably gonna need some isolation work to really hit the deltoids directly for improved definition.

    One thing you can try is:

    A1 - Front Raise x 10-12 reps
    A2 - Lateral Raise x 10-12 reps
    A3 - Shoulder Press x 8-12 reps

    Really control the eccentric motion on each exercises. That's one circuit, repeat 4 times. Then you'll want to put some high-rep (like 15-20 reps) of a rear deltoid movement like Face Pulls or Rear Delt swings. Look-up John Meadows on YouTube or Mountain-Dog Diet.Com, as I remember him posting some good shoulder work routines.

    I agree that strength is nice and is really important for building muscle but when you're training for appearance you have to approach it a little different.
