      Im on 5.3.1 right now, looking to gain strength as well as size.

      Does the medial Delt get hit enough on compound movements like military press, db shoulder press, bench, rows ect.

      Or do I have to find out a way put Lat raises in the program. Thanks

      Put them in.

      And do 10-15 reps.

      Honestly I would follow the program rather than adding bits to it, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt but I wouldn't. Overhead pressing will use the medial head, you certainly don't 'have' to put lateral raises in.

      This is where im kinda torn on. i want to stick to the program, but I'm doing 5/3/1 not just for stength gains but to put on some mass. i dont want my shoulder to be disproportionate, i want the boulder look

      You'll be doing lateral raises with what...50lbs?

      Bigger shoulders require bigger weights.

      Lateral Raises

      first of all, for those not familiar with this basic program, here is a good link:

      http://www.muscleandstrength.com/wor...ng-system.html

      NOW: as to this:

      well then, how soon before you add concentration curls, or whatever, and so on.....

      sounds to me like you want something far more than just a variation of Starting Strength...

      What is a lateral raise going to do for you that a heavy-ass military press or BTN won't?
