Delts, sides and rear

[jack sparrow]

My lateral and posterior detls (especially the rear part of the laterals) seem to be hard gainers.

I do:
Lateral machine raises
Lateral dumbbell raises
Bent over dumbbell rows
Seated Cybex pullback rows
Overhead dumbbell presses

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to hit my delts harder or with some different exercises? I have some magazines with delt exercises and will try some of the outlined exercises, but I just wanted to get some opinions from the board members.

Thanks.

first... fuck all those exercises.

my rear delts get worked from:

heavy bb rows
pullups
face pulls
heavy power shrugs

thats all i did in the past 9 weeks and i saw some results

face pulls are great

10-4.

Another great rear delt movement is something Dante mentioned ages ago. Basically, do barbell rows...while gripping the plates!

Now, this is of course no replacement for rack pulls, deads, face pulls, etc.; however, for the rare few who still can't seem to get their rear delts to respond, it's reportedly a worthwhile addition now and again.

Yeah - obviously the isolation thing isn't working (it rarely does without copious drugs) so swap to something like:

Standing military or push presses (barbell)
Barbell rows with torso parallel to the floor (or as close as you can get) done dynamically by accelerating the weight into you (not jerking it just smooth constant acceleration). - this is the right way to row, if you aren't already doing this
Snatch grip high pulls are another fabulous option - even from the hang or just above the knees.

Thanks bro's. You all got some green from my rear delts.

My favorite rear delt exercise is high dumbbell rows, rows up towards my ears/neck, with torso almost parallel to the floor.

i'll die swearing that clean and press will give you COMPLETE shoulder development. me and my partner do it together and it makes my shoulders grow like no other. front bigtime, side fairly well, and rear bigtime. the only other shoulder exercise we mingle with is laterals for aestethic(sp?) purposes. The don't make much of a difference, but maybe allow me to hold 0.5" more width on each shoulder.

What is a face pull??
