Yeah post a video so we can see how the form is. Training shoulders is one of the harder muscle groups to train because they are a bit harder to isolate, so it will take some time for the weight to go up. But remember, form>weight always.

Personally I like to work with dumbbells for any type of upper body press because i get to work on balance and my stabilizers as well.

One other thing to note is, machines are also great to throw into your routine because when compared to lifting freeweights, you wont have to worry about balance issues. It allows you to force out those extra reps to failure and really pushes your muscles to the limit. Id even go for 14 reps for machines.
