Dumbbell presses build is my favourite mass building execise to shoulders and will develop the overall mass to your delts.

Execution – Stand with a one dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, palms facing forward. Lift the dumbbells straight up overhead until they touch at the top. Lower the weights back to the starting position. Keep your back slightly glen, to keep up the control.

Tips – You can stress the front delts even harder, by holding the dumbbells in front of you at the shoulders level, palms turned toward you. Next press the weights up overhead and at the same time rotate your hands, thumbs turning inward, so that the palms face forward at the top of the movement. Lower the weights and rotate back to the starting position. Do not lock your elbows at the top. Doing dumbbell shoulder presses on a standing position, you can focus more on lifting weights!
