pullups, headstand pushups (not simple), use light dumbbells and do side shoulder raises, military press, front raises, for minutes at a time, to build up endurance and tone your muscles

Just make sure if you train the front delts (like shoulder press) you also train the rear delts (pull ups or any kind of row). Another one everyone misses but in my experience has a large effect on strength is the rotator cuff muscles. See-Saw shoulder press with dumbbells is one of my favorites because it gets the core into it.

When you say 'build my shoulders up' do you mean get big shoulder muscles or gain strength/enduracne for boxing to help keep your hands up etc?

If you want endurance for boxing hold a one pound weight in each hand and keep your hands held out in front of you for a full round lightly moving them up and down keeping the arms straight. Then do a round with them out to the side.

It's really hard, you may need to start with just empty hands first and you may not be able to do a full round, but it helps alot.

Pull ups, chin ups, wide stance push ups.

Any and every form of pushup. Handstand pushups. Inverted rows.

Dips between bars (or chair backs) behind your back, with your palms facing to the rear. This is not a parallel dip. Rather your palms are facing to your rear grasping bars that are oriented across/behind your body. You dip backwards between the bars. You need to go really low and this intensely works the muscles around you scapula. Nothing else hits them like this.

Pull ups also work the muscles behind the scapula, but in the other direction. This is particularly true of a wide grip overhand pull up.

Wearing really heavy sparring gloves.

shadowboxing on high level for like 5-6 rounds with slow shadowboxing in between with 5 lbs dumbbells, and then doing exercises, like circles, flying, shoulder presses with those same dumbbells that'll burn your shoulders man.. and then shadowboxing without weights to maintain speed and pop all that, that's how my trainer does it, and it works..

check out the pull-up program i posted yesterday, it'll make your shoulders plenty big along with the exercises everyone else has already mentioned :)

rigorous ropework and speedbag will get your shoulders right where they need to be for boxing, without slowing down any of your punch speed but making you actually faster
