I have kind of different routine for my shoulders. I've broken my back twice so I can't do anything with weight pushing down on my spine. No military press, squats, etc.. After I warm up, I do 3 sets of front raises, 3 sets of side lateral raises, 3 sets of rear delt work, 3 sets of upright rows, and shrugs. Surprisingly, shoulders have improved more than most of my other body parts. Widened big time. Hope that helps a little.

I started doing rotator cuff exercises (medium weight/high rep) before my shoulder routine and My shoulder strength sky rocketed. My bench too. I also found doing reverse shoulder routine to not only add more width to your shoulders but strength too. Bentover lateral raises, Lateral raises, upright rows, military press, and front raises if you need them. Usually your front delts are so tired by the time you get to military you wont need the front raises. Try this for a month then switch it up. This worked great for me. GL
