Without a back double bicep picture I can't judge about your (dis)balance, but something I do notice in general is that some guys look wide in this pose, but it's actually their thick rear delts who overpower their back development. Roellie is the first person who comes to my mind with this issue.

Gonna put up yesterday's shoulder routine for laughs:

I get a 50 pound straight barbell. I do 4 sets of military presses and 4 sets where I switch up my grip and work the front delts. I go very slow and do a lot of pausing in the middle to get a nice burn. Then I go on the hammer strength for back delts, I put 25 pound weights on and do 4 sets on each arm, go very slowly and holding and squeeezing at the apex to get the most of the weight. lol I'm a 145 lb natural bodybuilder watch out kai and wolf I has u in my crosshairz

No its similar to a standing shoulder press. The body is stiff only the arms move the weight. The bar does not go below my head.

I know, but if I were you I would not worry about the delt/tri balance but rather your bi/tri balance, however it's up to you which look to prefer.
I agree that those mentioned pro's have weird delts, Jay excluded. When I saw him in person I noticed that his delts hung a bit.

I know, but if I were you I would not worry about the delt/tri balance but rather your bi/tri balance, however it's up to you which look to prefer.
I agree that those mentioned pro's have weird delts, Jay excluded. When I saw him in person I noticed that his delts hung a bit.
my bi tri balance is ok... im ok with it
like i said my delts grow super fast, im not a bber so technically Im not really fussed about rear delts its not ill be hitting a rear double back bicep pose at anytime in my life.. so why go for that square look

Man, you have way better genetics than the average getbigger (damn, that includes me). Square or round, you should do a contest, at least once.

thanks man but i love to lift ... i have no desire to b on a stage in underwear flexing...
plus there is no way i could eat like a bber.... or diet.... and neither could i do the other stuff required...
im happy to be healthy being strong and to lift
thats it.
im glad you see what i was trying to say about that square delt look ... i think delts above everything can ruin a physique
if overdeveloped

My arms are like 16 inches and haven't grown in years.

I do them together because I don't see the point of doing them separately.  Maybe you can lift a little more weight but that's just because you can concentrate on the arm better.  Does it translate into bigger arms? More soreness? Bigger pump?  I don't think so.  Plus it takes like half the time to do a set.

Local hero, most people are too quick to jump right into their programs without really warming up correctly or long enough then complain of shoulder injuries. They do a couple of sets of internal/external (if that) and call it good with out realizing that fireing deep sub-scap is just as important to shoulder/labral health as well.
