Give me a good shoulder workout

I usually start with DB presses or BB presses, lately the former. Then I usually superset a machine press with some lateral raises. I throw in a fwe sets for rear delts (machine or with DB's). That's it. Hook me up with some more mass-building suggestions.

Also what are push presses?

It's basically a standing overhead press, except you can use leg drive to force the weight up. You can use a lot more weight like that than regular OHP. Great exercise!

Push presses are standing military presses with leg drive. You bent your knees a little bit, and it enables you to press more weight.
 
Oh. I haven't done those fuckers in a long time. You also need your back and shit to stabilze though. Maybe I'll give those a go. Any other ideas?

You may be overtraining your shoulders. I would pick two exercises that really give you a good burn in your shoulders (like DB seated military press and machine press) then do one exercise for 3-4 sets one day, then the other 3-4 days later.

Do a warmup set and then 3 sets in the 8-12 rep range, not quite to failure.

You can incorporate other exercises like upright rows and dips that aren't strictly shoulder exercises on the same doy or on different days.

You'll thank me later.
 
Actually, my shoulders grow regardless of what I do almost. They can take a lot of punishment and never get sore. I normally don't bother with a super set. Just a heavy press, some laterals and then something for rear delts. Ten sets for shoulders total usually. I usually train hams with shoulders lately but I did two sets of good mornings on Tuesday for back and my hams are still sore for some damn reason, so I may not do much in the way of hams this week.
 
pretty good routine that has worked well for me;

military press 3x10-12
upright rows 3x10-12
front raises 2x8-10
lateral raises 2x8-10 (optional)
