    shoulders after chest; how many sets?

    I am currently working my shoulders after my chest in this split below.

    chest/delts
    back
    off
    legs
    bis/tris
    off
    off

    For chest I am currently doing:
    3 sets of flat db press
    3 sets of incline db press
    3 sets of flyes or dips

    How many sets do you recommend I do for shoulders with this split? By the time I get to doing military presses, my shoulders seem pretty shot. Should I just do like 3 sets of military presses and 3 sets of lateral raises?

    That would be plenty
    What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

    That sounds like plenty. How often do you work your chest and shoulders?

    Unless your chest is by far your best bodypart I would never, ever train triceps or delts before your chest. You dont need very much shoulder work, and after chest is perfect timing.

    You also have no direct rear delt work in there.

    My bad everyone. I inversed the title, but wrote it correctly in the post. I'm currently working my shoulders -after- I work my chest, not the other way around.

    How many sets do you think I should add in for rear delts? And say I am doing bent dumbell raises for them, should I do that before or after the lateral raises?
