Overhead Press vs Lateral Raises

Juice wrote: Worked shoulders today and for the first time didn't do any overhead presses, focussing solely on lateral raises (side, front and rear). My question is if it ok to remove overhead presses from a shoulder routine and focus on the lateral raises I listed.

yes, it's ok. I can't do overhead presses as a result of an old injury.

the only movements I do are the raises, shrugs and rows. I also do a few drop sets on the raises and shoulders are still growing nicely.

Don't agree with the consensus in this thread. Nothing works my front delts more than heavy barbell shoulder presses. I do find that bb fron raises directly after that completely exausts my front delts. That combo right there is what works for me. My side and rear delts aren't nearly as well defined as my fronts.

bb press ftw.

@Chapel. Bud I had without a doubt the best shoulder workout today. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah man, that's why I always say training is so individually specific. Its all about finding what works for you which is whats so great about it.
