Every serious physique guy I’ve ever seen works rear delts obsessively though lol. You need to be really, really lean too to get the full effect. But if you’re cut enough and you’ve built up rear delts then you get that awesome looking capped off shoulder.[/quote]
OHP is nice for the average trainer to techinically hit their overall shoulders, but for an aesthetic effect, rears and medials need to receive the brunt of your work IMO. With so much chest pressing work hitting anterior delts whether your want it to or not, that’s why so many intermediate and advanced BBers seem to relegate shoulder pressing to almost secondary status in their regimens.

My front delts are bigger than my medial and rear delts and my shoulders don’t look proportional because of that fact. Is it advisable that I eliminate overhead pressing from my routine and focus more on lateral raises?
Note: All my chest pressing is low incline pressing, so my front delts will still be worked to a degree. [/quote]
What helped me bring up my rear delts the most was rowing at the end of every workout for months. AND I’d my pressing exercises with rear delt work.
Low Incline Dumbbell Press 3-4x6-8
Weighted Chin Up 5x5/ 50 reps on second upper day
Seated Dumbbell Press 3x8-10
Dumbbell Row 3x10-12
Lateral Raises 3x12-15
Rear Delt Raises 3x12-15
I’m far from an expert but if I were in your situation I would replace the dumbell rows with s.g.h.p. and put it directly before the military press. After that, hit rear laterals with 100% effort and intensity, going to complete failure. I would also begin the routine with lateral raises:
Lateral raises
Weighted pullup
Low incline press
S.g.h.p. - military press
bent laterals
Try running that as a moderate weight, 10 -15 rep circuit(besides bent laterals, fry those until you make Dorian faces) with 30-60 seconds between exercises, besides the s.g.h.p. and military press. Your medial and posterior delts will be on fire!
