Rear Delt trouble

[Armykid93]

My rear delts have always lagged although I have decent sized shoulders. Reverse flyes don't really work for me and I've tried a couple other things but what do you guys do for rear delts?

Standing cable crossovers. Keep arms level
Arms cross your chest then pull out and slightly up

I'll try those. I do them on back day but I have them angled down when I do them. Up hits the rear delts more?

It helps me. I have them about my head height. Just stretch arms across then pull out and hold, back in and.repeat.

Thanks dude. Appreciate the help. See if these work any better

I had the same problem. I've been doing slight bend (45 degree) dumbbell flies and really feeling it in the upper rear delt.

Dumbbell reverse flyes?

Seated DB's and reverse pec deck is all i really do for them. Heavy w/the db's and reps on the pec deck.

Kinda

When I hear dumbell reverse flies I think bending way over so your parallel to the floor and do the flies. That hits my back. If I stand up a little, 45 degrees to the floor, I can really hit the rear delt.

Same here. Seems to work the highest part of my tri's long head (which is good because they need work) as well as the rear delt and tie in.

You can also set up the incline bench on about a 45 deg. angle and lay down on it as if you are mounting it and perform db reverse flys...really targets the rear delts.

x2. Or 'quasi' shrugs with light-ish weight. Concentration on the squeeze more than heavy weight.

db bent over flys but make sure you keep your elbows out and up and not close to the body like many do, if your concentrate on keeping the elbows out wide and up you will target and isolate the rear delt muscle

[marcus300]

watch this video at 5.20mins and it will explain what mean

+1

When I'm able to check my ego at the door and focus on form and muscle contraction instead of the amount of weight I move. I feel it a lot more the next day.

Grab an incline bench. Adjustable is better and set it one higher than flat. Lay with your stomach and chest against bench. Knees on the stool where your ass would be. Do reverse flies that way. Very very good results

Yep that's what I touched on it post #15

Did upright rows on a cable machine. I feel it in my rear delta today.
