Don't incline presses and even bench presses work the front delt just as well? And upright rows are the king of mid delt exercises. So why even do over the head pressing if your do inclines?

what would your shoulder workout consist of with out military presses? I spend most of my shoulder workout doing some version of a military press.

I change up my workouts pretty regularly because of family and work, ect....if i have a short week at the gym i will do lateral raises, front raises and rear delt machine and do shoulders with chest. i feel that i get a good bit from doing incline DB press and incline flys with my chest workout to justify not doing military press.
