you need to do at least a shoulder press on shoulder day.


there are effectively 10 movements your body needs to do in some form or another to strengthen itself

push something straight up above your head (shoulder press)
pull something straight down from above your head (pull ups/pull downs)
push something straight out from your chest (bench press)
pull something straight towards your chest (row)
standing up or pushing with your legs (squat)
picking something up off the ground (deadlift)
bending forward at the waist/abs (sit up)
straightening up at the waist/lower back (lower back extension)
pushing something down from your shoulder height to your waist height (dip)
pulling something up from your waist height to your shoulder height (upright row)

obviously there are serveral variations of those exercises, and more that target more specific point of certain muscle groups, but those are the fundimental movements of the human body and if you just did each of those 10 movements split into a couple days a week at the gym, you would still make natural progress.
