barbell curls
shoulder shrugs (not sure exactly where this fits but I'll throw it on this side)

I'd also do pullups of various types on back/bi days and dips on chest/tri days.
general wisdom is a bitch. i like push/pull days, but i don't have time to spend three days in the weight room, i'm doing it in two right now, one day for legs, the other for upperbody.

is there some compound lift that i'm missing that will hit my shoulders hard when i'm doing something else? like bench doesn't seem to get my delts too much, just the anterior portion. lat pull downs doesn't seem to do anything for my post. delts. maybe if i used the t-bar instead?

is there anyway to reduce the muberof different exercises i do on my upper body day? it looks to me right now that the push/pull day that you're suggesting may be the only way.
