Is it just me, or are back and shoulder exercises the same?
I still have to look on websites to see what exercises to do for different muscle groups. Both routines for shoulders and back look the same.

what part of the back?
I don't think shrugs do much for your shoulders.
Upright rows do work your side/rear delts
spinal erector work has almost no impact.
your lat movements rows/pullups have some shoulder interaction
I think chest pressing movements interact with your shoulder about as much.

That's back up to Pullups, then shoulders with the rest.
People wonder why I call myself Mr. T. One dude asked, 'does the T stand for tough?' I said no. Another dude asked if the T stands for my last name, Tureaud. No it does not. The 'T' in Mr. T stands for tuna. T loves tuna.

lol oh well. I'll just do both on tuesday and thursday. Since i'm not doing too much on both groups, i don't think it would hurt.

rule of thumb:
pulling something towards your chest from most angles = back
and
most movements where your upper arms move above shoulder height = shoulders

I think you're confused.
When people say "back" they're usually refrring to the lats or the spinal erectors. But sometimes people lump their traps in with the back.
When people say "shoulders" they're usually referring to the delts. But sometimes people lump their traps in with the shoulders.

I've always counted just the rear delts as a muscle to do on back day, because it is a pulling muscle. The side and front delts I do on chest day. Then again, I'm a
