Strength wise I would just stick to standing mil presses. Start using heavier weight and get a little leg drive in the press. Almost like a cheater. Heavy ass front raises too help.

You guys might be right on me arching my back too much. I'll try changing my form on the next lift.

I would start with heavy ass laterals. Im talking heavy. 4 sets maybe even 5. Then move right to Presses. Standing or seated keep your back straight. No incline benching horse ****. Front raises should be next. You can skip rear delt action, it's really up to you. ( I would save rear delts for another day, isolating them can be a pain, and I would recommend working them on a day when they arent used much at all ) When your done with the front raises move onto lateral machine and bust out 20+ reps. If your not cooked after this. Then bust out a set of painful shoulders. Here is how they go: Grab a set of dumbells dont go grabbing heavy ones im talking 20 maybe 25's tops. 10-15 reps side laterals, 10-15 reps front raises 10-15 reps shoulder presses put em down. No rest between sets on those. Some times I would alternate doing cable work instead of dumbbell work, front raises and laterals seemed to benefit the most from resistance in the negative portion of the motion. To finish off some jacked shoulders do some yoke building work. Hang Cleans superset with some shrugs super set with behind the back shrugs. Afterwards, your range of motion should be shot and anything weighing more than 1 lb should hurt to pick up. Take two ibueprofen and call me in the morning hahahahah!!!!
