out of these it is defo the planche -Front Lever uses all of your back muscles and core -HSPU is easier than Planche -Planche uses only the front delts pretty much, along with a few other muscles

standing OHP for sure, especially with wider grips pullups are up there too, though

Day 2: Lateral Raises vs Planche Leans!?
I know this post may not seem like something that makes sense when you first take a look, but hear me out: Lateral raises are pretty good and all, however many people struggle to take this specific exercise to failure (even if they can take others like OHP or incline bench to actual failure). This is why Planche Leans are a good option, as they involve only the shoulders to execute the motion (asides from core stabilization). You have to make a few changes though: -utilize a wider grip to be able to engage the side delts more. I recommend having your arms angled about 30-40 degrees away from your torso, choose what fits you best. -try to do them elevated to make the exercise harder, hence allowing for more progression than adding reps and sets -keep your arms completely straight, this will put all the tension on your shoulders -focus more on the lower part of the motion for maximum stretch, but try to avoid the extreme sides (IE: too extended, too contracted) where you take away tension from the shoulders. Hope this helped, Opinion?

@Kris Strasser usually because most people only do movements intended for the chest and triceps
Day 2- pike push ups vs standing overhead press
1. I prefer pike push ups 2. Because it not only works the front delt but the side delt and traps. It is also a better progressive overload option to the OHP as it is easier to transfer over to handstand push ups. Additionally, I can do them on an elevated surface and implement pause reps at the bottom of the pike push up, really working my shoulder muscles.

the thing is that you can also modify the standing overhead press to target side delts too, by using a wider grip and focusing on moving your arms in a more lateral way, instead of just pushing straight up. been doing this for a while and supersetting with lateral raises, shit slaps
