    I like to keep shoulders and chest about 4 days apart. Chest on Monday and shoulders on Friday. I don't like doing standing DB presses. Seems as though it's not stable enough. Should probably be sitting when you do that. (IMO) And why is it you are doing stiff leg deadlifts on leg day? That should be on back day if anything, but you have already incorporated deadlifts on back day, again IMO.

    I do the shoulder press standing for core stability purposes, believing it helps my core as well as my shoulders at the same time.

    The stiff leg deadlifts I believed were mainly for my hamstrings (top part of hamstrings mainly i think?) but may be wrong here.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I think that you do work your hamstrings with the stiff-leg deadlift. But you are still using a lot of back, not all hamstrings. As for the standing presses, I just feel that it gives more room for injury. When you get heavier into the weights, it seems as though you have to work harder to not bend your back while pushing... But that's just me. Good luck bro...

    As I am not perfect, I guess that I gave some bad info... Apologies bro! Stiff leg deadlifts I have found work the glutes and the hamstrings. So I guess that's enough of my giving advice!
