Trevor,

 

Why are you doing 2 sets of exercises that are the same movement? I would just do either seated or standing DB/BB shrugs, I would do either a standing or seated DB/BB overhead press, then do the sets of lateral and reverse flyes. Shoulders are a small muscle group and don't need that many sets of the same movement to force growth. You could also do supersets where you do a set of shoulder presses followed immediately by a set of lateral raises. Also remember your shoulders are worked when you do chest, back, and some tricep exercises like dips.

Fair enough. Since you don't go to a gym, I will give you what I recommend to blast your shoulders and it will be more intense and quicker as well:

 

Do (3) tri-sets of the following:

 

10 reps of shoulder presses, followed immediately by 10 reps of lateral raises, followed immediately by 10 reps of rear flyes.

 

Do this 3 times for a total volume of 90 reps. That is more than enough to burn out your shoulders and intense enough to spark growth.

 

That's all you will need for your shoulder workouts.
