Re: Upper back/Shoulders
Dumbell presses, military presses or push presses for shoulders.

Chinups / pullups + barbell rows or dumbell rows + shrugs for upper back.

Cheers,

G

Re: Upper back/Shoulders

Plus the advice above is excellent defo chins and rows

Re: Upper back/Shoulders
Heavy deadlifts and rows for back and any type of heavy overhead press for shoulders.

No need to ever do dumbbell laterals, rear delt isolation or the like.
