REAL Science Based Rear Delt Exercise (ALL NEW GAINS!)

From the creator

If you want to get bigger rear delts then you have to train them. The crazy thing is, many of us want to build up our posterior delts but neglect to hit them with any specific exercises and therefore don’t see the muscle gains they are looking for.

A lot of lifters make the mistake of thinking that reverse dumbbells flys are the best way to do this. When you attempt to perform that motion however you see that you are limited in how far behind the body you are able to get your upper arm. If instead, you focus on extending the arm back by bending the elbow and pulling the elbow as far as you can behind you it becomes instantly apparent that you can go further and feel a more intense contraction. Beyond this however, it is important to understand that the rear delt can also assist in
