You might want to alternate workouts, for example, one day do heavy push presses to chin level, 3-5 sets, this will really work the delt area for mass, along with upright rows, 4 sets. In fact, a superset of these two is killer. The next time, do 3 sets of side laterals, 3 sets of rear laterals, and 3 sets of front laterals to isolate each. Do traps with both workouts.
