Thread: Rear Delts

Depends on you. I need the isolation stuff, you might not. If you're proportional, you don't need it.

How is your posture? Do your shoulders round? Do you deadlift or clean?
I am in the process of including some reverse fly's into my program because I am on the computer a lot...

deadlifts are enough.....lots of rear delt work will make it look smaller...if you are doing an exercise that works the rear delt for a lot of repetitions that may be the problem.....
i think if you dead lift and do enough pulling exercises your delts will be in a decent size....but a 3 sets of rear delt work on pull day would be benefical in my own opininion..

so u reckon if theirs rows, pull ups, deads, squats and cleans in your workout isolation rear delt work will not be needed?

Look at your delts. Are they proportionally sized?
yes -> no isolation needed
no -> isolation needed

1arm DB rows, chin ups, seated row, was done mine, never done isolation. as above, see what you need, but i think you should try sticking to the movements already mentioned, if no change in 8wks, then add isolation.

I finish workouts with scapular stabilizer work.

like what?

i do big compound movements but i also love reverse flies, did them yesterday and they fucking target my rear delt better then anything else i tried.

i like to do some rear delt stuff on back day.
