Always switch it up.

I see you are almost as tall as me so you could probably do what I do. Try "pre-exhausting" all the heads, or just the side delts with DB raises before hitting the mass building exercises aka DB/BB presses. Also you could try doing presses, and immediately after your presses, have a DB sitting next to you, and hit your side delts with lateral raises, then rest. A good combo in the past for me was super-setting military presses w/ DB lateral raises, and Upright rows w/ rear delts ( DB bent over raises).

yeah I do a lot of these - usually reverse order by using the isolation move to pre-exhaust followed by the compound movement.

You can also use a variation in reps: 12/12, 12/8, 10/10, 10/6 . . you get the idea.

If I were you I'd buy Larry Scott's book, Loaded Guns. Great book full of secrets/tips. You don't see this kind of info anywhere. He packed on some serious size on his delts! It's quite something to see what he did with his physique. He also has a dvd showing all the exercises and how he or Vince Gironda came up with them. He also got some great tips from a BB by the name of Lou Degni. I don't have the dvd, been wanting it for yrs. now.

Here's one of my all time fav pics. of Scott. There's another one showing his delts but I can't locate it right now. Guy was amazing!

He did use Dbol and some Winni
Also, he had long muscle bellies in the biceps. That was one thing he was blessed with. But one thing for sure, he worked his ass off!!
