    yeah, if you really pull you shoulders back at the top.

    the exercize i've had the most success with is doing bend over lateral raises with a more-or-less 45 degree bend in my arms. i like to cheat a little on them- it allows me to do like 4X as much weight and the pumps are way better for me than strict form; it also allows my rear delt's to grow hella faster. imo it's the best mass exercize for the rear delts.

    the single best mass builder for rear delts has NOTHING to do with weights IMO.

    This dude at my gym has a huge set. I asked him the same thing.

    It SOOOO hard to explain, cause it has to be shown.

    but here goes.

    lie on a flat bench..... grab 10 pounds ..just for the initial feel.

    what you gotta do is work it like a piston...basically,lie down on your side... on your shoulder and brace yourself so you can drop the weight ACROSS your chest ... so your lying on you left shoulder and your right arm is draped across your chest, now, bring the weight up in a arc to a position that if you were standing you arm would be parallel to the floor... but of course your layin down still.. now the trick is to have your elbow as twisted to peak the contraction at the last second.

    DAMMIT... so hard to explain...let alone do.

    hmmm, sorta like lying side laterals that arnold used to do.

    ahhh fak it.

    brain hurts.. just do reverse pec dec

    It's a good move but I disagree that it hardly has anything to do with weights. You're using a weight, it just doesn't have to be huge since you're using the leverage of a straight arm.

    Based on the description it sounds like you're doing this:

    I agree its been a long time since the last post but he is sharing an exercise that is very underutilized and could mean the difference in someone's routine.
