For shoulders what really works well for me is:
1 handed shoulder press (explode up, put back down slowly into the correct position and repeat) :: 3 sets :: 20 at 50lbs - 16 at 55lbs - 12 at 60lbs
1 handed shoulder flies (raise your hand 90 degrees in front of you, then sideways after putting it back beside your hip and you do 1 rep) :: 3 sets :: 20 at 25lbs :: 16 at 30lbs :: 12 at 35lbs
holding 2.5lbs weights have your hands out fully at your sides and for 3 minutes at a time make them go clockwise and counter-clockwise (switching every 30+ seconds) as fast as you can.
Started from the usual 12-8 reps for shoulder presses but kept raising it. Built up a lot of tone like that and they look great. Well rounded shoulders that look pretty damn good and work good too. Eh, just take care for overwork injuries, at the time I was also doing 1-armed pushups and my joints got a bit messed up in the front area thanks to excessive stress on those spots (front of shoulder)
Doing it 1 handed makes it so you can do a lot more reps/weight than you usually could. The only bad thing is that it's more time consuming. IMO it's really worth it though, I like my shoulders.
I'd give more advice but must hit sack. The workout I mentioned works "really" well for me and I'm sure it'd do the same for you.
