Work rear delts on shoulder day or back day

[War729]

I read in the new flex mag (I know no one reads that stuff but bored at work) that the rear delt is more used for back pulling than lifting or pressing. Which makes me think to hit front and middle harder and then hit rear on back day when rear is possibly fatiguing already.

That is one twisted logic right there.

Your front delts are involved in every press movement, which is why they require the least attention. I know people who won't even bother with isometric front delt exercises, since they perform heavy presses, not to mention their front delts are already the size of a coconut.

The side of your delt (lateral) is almost never involved unless you are working it isometrically, which is why it requires the most attention.

The rear delts require much more attention than what people generally assume. Bigger and fuller your rear delts are, the more of a 3D look your physique will achieve. If you work out your rear delts only when near fatiguing every and each time, you'll never develop them to their full potential/size

Just my advice, since you asked.

^^^ Agreed.

I work rear delts and traps on back day and front and side delts on shoulder day

I will usually do something like.....

Back/traps/rear delts day
4 sets deadlifts
4 sets wide grip pull ups
3 sets ez bar bent over row
3 sets dumbell shrugs
3 sets behind the neck pull down
3 sets rear delt raise

Shoulder day
6 sets seated military press smith machine (up weigth one set then drop then up then drop....so on so on)
2 sets power partials (1 arm at a time explode up hold for 1-2 seconds at top then slowly and controlled down)wont need much weight
4 sets cable (1 arm at a time good posture and form always thinking about you side delts, and no swinging)

Works GREAT for me after about 2 months i had heaps of randoms at the gym commenting me no my back and shoulders
might not work for some but def wo

Rear shoulder barbell press.

Seated, using a smith machine (aka, multi-press).

Also look into the standing cable face-pull exercise.

Yes, face cable pull exercise can yield amazing results with correct form and stretching in each rep.
