Rear Delt Work

[callthedoctor]

I agree with BodyByFinaplix....

For me, the best rear delt exercise is lying face forward on incline bench....about 30 degrees or so....

Make sure you rotate your wrists so that your thumbs are pointed up, elbows slightly bent....go light and by rep 10-12, you really feel it....

Behind the neck pullups on a straight bar.

These are tough but I can feel the whole upper back and rear delts pull when I get to the top.

reverse peck deck is a great one. if you are unsure if it is working for you make sure your palms are at shoulder and when extended hold for 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000...you will feel a heat sensation followed by that burn we love so much.....that will build your confidence level on doing it right.

I've used spring cable pulls and have achieved great results. It seems to be a resistance that the body is not accustomed to, so it can be a really good excercise for when bent over laterial raises start to go stale.
