Barbell Curls for your shoulders
This builds your biceps and grip strength. I recommend dumbbell curls but if you are not getting enough benefit from those, try barbell curls.   You can hurt your back doing this so keep your knees slightly bent, relax your back, and keep your elbows in the same place throughout the movement. I also recommend wearing a lower back belt while doing these.   Stand with the barbell hanging down in front of you with arms "dangling." Now move your elbows slightly forward and slightly bend your arms - that is your starting position.   "Curl" the barbell up as far as possible. That's all there is to it.
