I despise shoulder work outside of presses...

...and "power" movements (snatches, etc.). Does this hold true for most of you? Are there any types of raises or anything I really need to be doing, if only for injury prevention or something? Or am I okay doing standard OHPing, push presses, etc?

I loath prehab (cuban presses, external rotations) but I loath shoulder pain more, so I do them.

I should note I do perform rotator cuff prehab, but I've never even heard of a cuban press. I'll be right back

Oh, yeah, actually I do perform those, just never knew the name. Yeah, I make sure I do my prehab. I was more referring to laterals, reverse flyes, etc.

I hate laterals because my shoulders click like crazy when I do them. I am fond of front raises though.

It seems odd to me that I've had so many shoulder problems in the past, yet I can do the 100 snatch challenge with no problems.

Handstand presses do a nice number. Aside from those, maybe the occasional lateral raises *gasp* or shoulder level hold outs / crucifix.

I haven't done a lateral raise or front raise in ages. My main shoulder work consists of the military press, push press, and power jerk. The dumbbell crucifix is cool too, once in a while.

Wide grip bench, OHP, push press, dips, snatches, jerks. I also hate doing shoulder work outside of presses
