I'm trying to get my rear delts out of hand. You guys have any special or favorites for this part of the delt?

Lol... How about the reverse fly machine crap? I usually do seated bent over db's for rear delts.

Standing Bent Over Laterals. Bend over at 90* and don't use a bench, because it is also good for the core.

That is what I do.

That is actually all I do for shoulders.

i like to use the bench to lean on because i put my arm way out infront of me and lean on it which helps to stretch out my front dealt, pects, and lats. i always try to incorporate some sort of stretch position in all isolated excercises such as on lat dumbell preacher curls, i let one arm sit w/ the weight at full extention w/ slight tension on the bicep giving it a nice stretch at the most eccentric point. while i perform the motion w/ the other arm.
Stretched muscles... are HAPPY muscles.

doing bent over rows for my back has made my rear delts massive. Maybe I use a bit different form. Maybe try working bent overs into your back routine every other workout.

Bent Rows are a given...

Heavy Bent Laterals are my favorite rear-delt specific exercise...Heavy is relative tho... i use 60 lbs dumbells on this movement
