What happens if you only train shoulders

I could care less about the rest of my muscles except leg muscles, what if I prioritized hitting shoulders 2x a week and then trained legs 1x a week? And then also trained abs 1x a week? Seems like a solid plan to build a decent body without doing all the extra bs.

You'll look good because they're the most important muscles for aesthetics.

Try to do some pull ups and chin ups as well.

Chest and shit are bs no one wants to look at your milkers. Traps are gross too

Shoulders and a shredded back combo = Anime Slayer Physique

Ideally you should also train your arms and chest to bring the rest of your body up to par but Back and Shoulders
are the most dimorphic and mogger muscles

Nah they all matter obviously just dont overdo it
 
Press 3x a week (2x is not enough with all the recovery time and lack of work) OR press 2x and bench 1x (bench as assistance for press, ensures some proportionality but emphasis on shoulders). Focus on adding 75-100lbs onto your press and your shoulder size will just follow along. Isolation work isnt even needed if newbie and progressing the press consistently. Chins/pull ups will more than make up for any missed rear delt work this early into training and will make back look better (women care about back for some reason). Spam laterals later into training once strength base is developed. Only add rear delt work if they are noticeably lacking or as prehab.

TBH you can do full body 3x a week and that's fine. Legs 1x a week = super slow gains and lack of neuromusclar efficiency with lower body movements which inhibits proper loading. Abs also recover extremely fast and many people can train them on a daily basis.

You have very little workload as it is, so all this rest time is just wasted time. Recovering from a leg day with 225lb squats with a small mass of muscle is not the same as recovering from a leg day with 405 and a larger mass of muscle requiring more resources. If you're skipping muscle groups, even easier time.

You just don't need that kind of rest unless you're really that pressed for time or are late into training with a decent base of strength. A big chest wont matter, but a tiny chest relative to your delts will still look bad

Your chest wont get too big benching 1x a week and it will just function as more volume for your front delts and also as strength assistance.

(if you see my body in post history, just know im still waiting to post transformation, have made good gains training this way)

You should be able to press any Becky you see over your head with your meaty shoulders, even the FAT ones. In my experience, some women LOVE being picked up and pressed like nothing (my ex's sister wanted to fuck me for it)
