Thread: Rear Delt Question

Still fine tuning a full body compound lift work out, and am wondering if rear delt rows(barbell) is overkill or just un-nessessary if I'm doing heavy barbell rows and deads?Looking for the fewest but most productive exersizes possible to be most efficient and am starting to think the rear delt rows are just wasting recooperative energy...Thoughts?

My rear delts are good to date. Though the board tells me my 34" wide pullups are poison to my rotator cuffs... I've felt no "strain". I dunno. They take a hell of a lot of coaxing your body to do a decent set. A lot of people, like me, have trouble doing them. Too much isolation too fast?
