I do Full body 3 times a week, and since I do 2 chest exercises(presses only) each workout, so 6 presses for chest a week, I never do any direct front delt work. Any thoughts on this? The front delt is getting a lot of work by the chest presses I believe and it's pretty overdeveloped as well, just like in most people.

then you're fine? I feel like all muscles should be worked out regardless of how "overdeveloped" you think they are, it'll just make them look even better.

IMO as long as you get stronger at bench and ohp your front delt will be getting hit hard as fuck, way harder than any direct stimulus you're able to give your rear and side delts with a heavy compound in the same manner. focus on developing your upper back, chest and other shoulder heads before you add in any more front delt volume. all i ever did was basic heavy presses and they developed rapidly

For looks, just work the side delt for the V shape look. For good shoulder health also work the rear.
Rear shoulders is extremely important for posture and other back issues. Also be sure you are not walking like a Neanderthal and your palms face knuckle first. I can't tell you how many bench monkeys don't do any rear shoulder work and end up walking like cave men. They look fucking dumb. aka rounded shoulders.

do not rows and any back work help rear shoulder or does it need isolation?
>>
>>42295597
Do you OHP as one of your presses a day? I agree, front delts are involved in every pressing movement. There's no need to isolate them. Do lots of volume for rear delts instead!

They help and are excellent. The best is the cross over cables.
I recommend rows before benching for warm-up and infact you should be able to row close to or same number as your bench for balance.

Are face pulls good for rear delts?
>>
>>42298406
yes. They also get your rotator cuff muscles. A good tip for rear delts though is to by a light elasticband and do 100 band pull-a-parts a day. takes you no time, and will let your shoulders blow up

Crossover is the best, face pulls are good. But unless you can't do the best then why waste your time on suboptimal exercise.
