Side deltoids - best exercises?

DB upright rows is one, for me. But it's another where some people have issues. Maybe worth a shot...?

Also could be not the best for imbalance, because that usually means too much anterior delt vs. the other two. Upright rows do hit that...
 
It is worth looking into why your shoulders hurt badly whilst doing those movements.

I know the Dan Green shoulder program is:
Day 1 - Standing BB Overhead Press 3 x 5-10 or something like that then DB Laterals 4-5 sets
Day 2 - Seated DB Overhead Press 3 x 8-12 then DB Laterals 4-5 sets
Day 3 - Behind The Neck Press 3 x 6-10 then DB Laterals 4-5 sets
 
Behind the neck push presses are a staple for me
Push pressing or jerking the weight will still build the delts but not put strain on the shoulder girdle. Simply holding the weight at the top and locking out is enough
 
sometimes i superset wide grip upright rows with side laterals. gets a burn going just to change things up.
 
Pretty much same here - I don't do much in the way of lateral raises, been doing unilateral upright rows for a while. Even done this way, I'm still a little sus of them too though :p
