You could do modified overhead presses with one arm at a time with a low cable attachment. You could do a squat and press, or a dumb bell clean and press. there re lots of ways to work your shoulders. An alternate for lat raises.. one arm raises, cable lat raises, seated lat raises, or are you trying to avoid the movement and still stimulate your mid delts? Presses will stimulate most of the deltoid. For rear delts, try sitting facing the pec flye machine and doing a reverse flye, same motion, different position. Or one of my favorites is lying on a flat bench, facing up, cross the cables over in front of you and pul out nd down to do a reverse flye. Rowing movements work rear delts, any pressing movements work front delts, and most movements will involve some part of the shoulder. Did that answer your question? -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.
