What are some effective deltiod exercises you can do with a weight bench
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

millitary / arnold presses usually give me the best results. if you want an overall delt mass, also add in side laterals. the middle lateral worked out my side lateral raises is the biggest one, and is the one that gives it the big look.
don't worry about front lateral isolation exercises, you will work them out plenty from millitary presses, and your chest day exercises.
as for rear laterals, feel free to add them in, a lot of people neglect them.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Most shoulder exercises fall into one of two categories: Pressing movements and lateral movements. Try for 3-4 sets of each different type.
My shoulder routine is as follows:
day 1- Military presses: 4 sets, bent over laterals: 4 sets
day 2- Upright rows: 4 sets, side laterals: 4 sets.
Also, stay away from presses behind the neck. They tend to cause shoulder problems.
When you do side laterals, use good form. Don't throw the dbs up. As you raise them, lower the front part of the dumbell, just as if you were pouring a pitcher of water.
I also recommend doing traps as part of your back workout.

I don't do back 2 days. Those are all shoulder exercises that I just described. OK, well maybe the upright rows hit the traps as well as the delts.
I've always trained traps with my back. In just about any sort of back exercise, the traps are involved. Even deadlifts hit the traps.
