    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!

    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.

    a modified low pulley row...where you pull the 'v-bar' to your upper chest will hit the rear delts very directly

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

    i do this but use the angled bar from the lat pulldown machine and take the widest grip possible.

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

    agreed. here is a link on how to do them.. just you need to bend over about 45 degrees or do them seated and bend over and do them from behind your calves.

    http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/excer...lllaterals.htm

    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.
