What Are Some Good Exercises To Do To Get Bigger Shoulders And More Muscle On My Back?

I’m just wondering what are some good exercises to do to build up your shoulders and back? Are there better exercise machines to use then others? What kinds of dumbell exercies can you do as well?
I’m also wondering what are some good meals to make to help me stay healthy and gain muscle. I’ve been eating a lot of proteins and drinking about 2-3 protein shakes a day.

    Military press and dumbbell overhead press are great for putting mass on the shoulders.
    As far as the back is concerned, do pullups in order to build width to your back, which will give you that V taper that bodybuilders have. Pull-ups are a must if you want to build a great back.
    Include deadlifts and barbell rows in your back routine, deadlift is a great overall mass builder, while barbell row is also great for putting mass and developing thickness in the lats.

    I personally love wide grip overhand pull ups for lat building, they give you a lot of useful strength but remember a pull up is all the way to the bottom (without locking out elbows) and touch your chin onto the bar, stay tight and strong all the way through the exercise. Russian special forces train pull ups by touching their necks to the bar to ensure no cheating but this can be very hard for a newbie. Remember to stretch your lats out after training to help increase size.

    some really good exercises for big shoulders are press behind the head
    Position
    1. Sitting down on a bench with back support and special supports. Press your back firmly against the padding for support.
    2. Grasp a barbell with your hands spaced a little wider than shoulder width. Keep your back and head straight with your feet firmly planted on the floor.
    3. Take the weight off the rack and press the bar directly over your head in a vertical line.
    Execution
    1. Slowly lower the bar behind your head to just below the ears.
    37
    2. Push the bar back up without bounding the weight. Remember to keep the back straight and flat (no arching) Repeat the movement.
    3. Keep the movement fluent, slow, and controlled.

    they realy work your shoulders! a good one for the back and overall body are dead lifts!
    Position
    1. Standing in front of a barbell with your feet under the bar, grasp the barbell in an alternate grip (one hand under grip, one hand over grip) with your hands roughly 2 feet apart. Bend over the bar keeping your back straight, knees slightly bent, head up and thrusting your butt out.
    Execution
    1. Without bending your arms, lift the weight from the floor until your body is completely upright. Lower the weight to the floor and repeat the movement.
