Check out this chest, shoulder and tricep workout and try it yourself.
Lee: For my weekly training on Mondays & Thursdays I do Chest, Shoulders, Triceps (my workout is below), Tuesdays & Fridays I do Lower Body and Wednesdays & Saturdays are for Back & Biceps.

CHEST, SHOULDER & TRICEP WORKOUT
First, I do 5-10min warm up, which is usually on the spin bike.
From there I do a 5-10min light mobility sequence to loosen up the lower back, hips and shoulders.
Mobility sequence will depend on what I’m working on that day, e.g. I would do an upper body mobility before an upper body session.
I also do a 5 min core activation and shoulder activation with activities such as planks, side planks, dead bugs, rotator cuff exercises and band pull aparts.
My sessions go from 45 minutes to an hour long.
