Post your favorite rear delt exercises

**symatech** · 11-01-2004, 04:57 PM

So I have decided that my rear delts are lacking, and I want to bring them up to par. What can I do to isolate my rear delts so I am working them as best I can?
Thanks in advance

Sometimes I do bb bent over rows instead of db or rear delt machine. But you must change the row slightly to hit the rear delts more effectively. Instead of gripping the bar shoulder width you grip extra wide or wider then normal AND instead of bringing the bar to your belly bring it up higher to the chest region. Performing the row this way will target your lats as well as rear delts.

I usually lay face down on an incline bench with dumbells...then just row wide...feels like im hitting them quite good

get a 90degree bench out and lean on it so you bend about 90* in your back. Now grab a light-moderate weighted dbell and hold it straight down and just start doing raises with it. Try to keep your arm going in a straight motion and no angle so that it really targets your rear delt. This should help to bring them up in some ways.
