Overkill?

[hulkamainia 119]

Hey bros was just wondering would this be over kill for a shoulder workout?

Smith machine military press 4 sets
DB military press 3 sets
Machine press neutral grip 3 sets
Side lateral raise cables 4 sets
Rear delt fly 3 sets
Single arm side lateral raise cable or DB 3 sets
shrugs 3 sets
Front lateral raise 3 sets

All exercises with reps of 8 to 12

Is this to much for a natty shoulder workout? Should I drop an exercise or is it too many sets?

All advice appreciated!

I would choose 1 press motion pre workout and alternate them 4 sets, 10-12 reps. Same with side lats, 1 per session. Everything else looks good. You can change the rep ranges around; 4 sets/10-12 pyramiding up. Reverse pyramid 3 sets of 5, then 2 sets 10-12. Keep a rep style for 12 weeks then switch it.

could go heavy OHP then some lighter DB seated presses finish with laterals and rear delts and trap work---so basically drop 1 pressing motion--keep 2- 1 heavy 1 light

Way overkill IMO. 3 pressing moves in one workout? I'd just rotate them each workout.

All good points! I shall drop the neutral grip! And switch it out for the DB from time to time! As well as the sides, but I feel like my sides need work!

Then go high volume on laterals.

Very well! Simple yet effective!

IMO i'd have to agree with Hardrock. I aim for 10-14 sets per body part a week. sometimes twice a week but spread apart. So I'd do 2 heavy pressing lifts, accompanied by 1 isolated lift. But for me, I never have to worry about my traps because deadlifts give me great traps

So I might do Miltary press for a warmup set and 4 hard sets
Then DB Presses for 4 hard sets.
Then 4 sets of lateral/front cable raises.

and btw gtfo with the smith machine lol
