Are you doing compound lifts? what set and rep scheme are you currently using, what tempo are you lifting the load at?

No just presses and bar press, dumbells 28kg bar 50kg

maybe go for a military press 5 sets 5 reps with 2min rest periods go for a 2 second eccentric phase with a 1 second pause and a 1 second consentric phase.

Have a go at that if you superset it with pull ups youll get a good overall workout but i have no idea what your training for

The aim of exercising is not to bring on DOMS. If you are progressing, then it does not matter. Soreness does not always equate to a good workout.

As MJ said, as long as you are consistently moving up weight then it's all good.

I have NEVER had doms in my shoulders, ever... Every other muscle has had doms, even my neck. Don't threat - like the other have said, they will grow if you keep pushing them.

I have doms in my shoulders today from yesterdays chest/shoulders/arms

5 sets of flat bench
3 sets of incline DBs at 45 degree incline (last set assisted reps)
5 sets of laterals (last 2 sets assisted reps)
5 sets of cheat hammer curls (last 2 sets assisted reps)
5 sets of dips (last 2 sets assisted reps)

Chest, shoulders, bi's, tri's and forearms all have doms. You have to focus on feeling the shoulder contracting, squeeze it, and then lower. I don't do assisted reps all the time but yes they help you get doms and help progression too if you use them right.
