18% bf is not that bad at all, unless you want to see hard definition, in which xase it's not quite good enough.

doesn't look good to me...your basically doing the same movement 3 different ways with all as hard as you can (shoulder / military / hammer press)...they'll never recover and grow with that type of volume and intensity

more bf% turn into muscle? not sure i understand that

i don't really focus on shoulders that much but i've just started doing Handstand Push Ups against a wall and i think they're the best shoulder exercise out there...the basis for the part 1 is to have efficient movement through the shoulder girdle and then you'll be able to lift more
