Thats a good one, I personally don't use too much of an incline. Try doing a static hold.. Hold the dumbells for about 2 seconds then lower them slllooowww.. This really blows up my delts!
rows, "lawnmower pulls", and the machine that doubles as a chest fly or rear delt
cool thanks for the advice.
You are doing a good one on the incline but you can also just stand and bend at a 45deg angle too. Try the smith machine bent-over- row with a 45deg angle and a WIDE (this is the key)grip bringing your elbows back & up & hold/squeeze.
Bent over lateral raises are the best thing you can do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is that like a bent over barbell rowQuote:

Its nothing modified about it. Read delts should be done on back day, not shoulder day like most think.Quote:

all you need is one exercise for them, they're a small muscle that also get hit hard with back, keep that in mind!Quote:

these work best for me. remember slow and controlled on the way up and down. if you use momentum your not building muscle.
On the exercise u do, the more you bend your elbows the more you involve your back and less the rear delts will be involved, so you wanna get rear delts and nothing else keep them straight as you can.
If you read Arnies book, Education of a bodybuilder he tells us to hit your rear delts on back day. I find hig reps and drop sets explode my rear delts.
SInce i got some back pain and have to work on posture rehab, i also have to train the rear delts, upper back and traps to realign posture.
I will say that i train thoses muscles 4 times week, i use the reverse peck deck for 3 sets of 12-15, the bent lateral raize 2 sets of 12 and shrughs 2 x 10, the coolest thing is that the rear delts are starting to get really impressive.
Give it a try.
