I want to train my shoulders so that they get big which exercises with free weights are the best?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I'll keep it nice and simple.
DB Overhead Press 3x6-10
DB Side Laterals 2x6-10
DB Bent Over Raises 2x6-10
and you can throw in three sets of 8-12 on DB Shrugs to hit those traps too.

Try laterals one side at a time with cables - done properly they keep the tension on the side delt throughout the whole movement.
I would also suggest training rear delts with back - this is something I have been doing for the last six months or so and the improvement in my rear delts has been considerable. The heavy rows you should be doing for your back will hit the rear delts and after that just some bent over laterals (again I prefer cables) or use the pec deck by facing the machine with arms behind the pads and doing the movement backwards.

"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.

howabout...training your rotator cuff so you in the long run you don't tear it so you can lift well into your old age..if you do tear it you wont ever lift the same again, besides if you do train it, it'll make your bench, shoulders, chest, everything grow from being able to push more weight
