Someone advised me to workout my chest and shoulders together. Does anyone try this? If so, what kind of results do you had?

chest and shoulders together?

It is standard with DC training and very very effective!
Given DC has low volume so you aren't putting a lot of stress on your rotators. You'll also want to choose exercise that don't provide for tremendous congruency. So you wouldn't do too much that would stress the front delts and would avoid doing barbell movements for both chest and shoulders.

Depending on the rest of your split you could do it. I personally like to train them with arms but you can certainly do chest/delts/tris.

I've done this quite a bit over the years. My favorite way to do it is a scheme with the general layout:
High Incline Press
Flat Press
Upright Row
Fly
Reverse Fly
Different Fly
Side Lateral
The format stays the same, but there are so many different variations of the exercises that it never gets old or stale.

Right now I am using the DC 3-way: Chest/Delts/Tris; Bis/Forearms/Back width/ Back thickness; Calves/Hams/Quads Training 4 days per week. This way I can use slightly more volume than the standard DC 2-way and bring up lagging parts. Thus far I am really liking it.

I had rotator problems until i switched them to chest night. After 6 months, my shoulders felt great. Not sure if its the prexhausting or the warm up i get from doing chest first, but it has helped considerably. My shoulders have begun to get the coveted "capped" look, so i doubt i will ever go back.
I often train CHEST/SHOULDERS/TRICEPS on the same day. Its been real effective for me over the years.

I feel that another advantage of training them together is that it reduces carryover. For example, breaking them over over the course of the week will activate the delts and tris on several days throughout the week indirectly but by keeping them together your can train them more frequently directly.

I'd like to hear which type of split is being used as well. There are good arguments for doing chest and delts together (some have been mentioned here). Personally, when I was ever trying to bring up one, I'd hold steady on the other somewhat to avoid tweaking anything and possibly stalling both due to an injury.
Chest and shoulders were /are a fav of mine for about the last 30 yrs. I feel I have incurred less shoulder injuries due to training with that combo. My shoulders seem to be very warm and well lubed by the time chest work is completed. I do have a shoulder issue due to a bad motorcycle accident and the same still holds true. I can use less wt for direct shoulderwork and get great stimulation while avoiding injury.
This is true for me but something else may be better for you . Maybe give a couple other body part combos a try- carefully.
Thanks, T
