But IMO, you’re over-stressing about having average proportions. [/quote]
I like to superset very strict rear flys with laterals for 10-15 reps for as much as 10 sets with trying to get as much “FEEL” as possible. Use a weight that lets you do your reps without changing your tempo or form, I don’t go to failure. I don’t care that I am using 10-15 lb DBs, instead of trying to increase the weight, I try to increase the muscle contraction through the entire set, never letting the delt relax.
I also use very short rest periods,I do not use a clock, I go by instinct. My first sets have fairly short rest periods and then as I tire, the rest increases,that way I am always getting just enough rest.
After the supersets, then I will do a press or whatever. Just do delts 1st.
I avoid direct trap work, concentrate on upper chest and triceps,and think that your back width is mostly rear delts, middle traps, and rhomboids. I think bone structure will determine the width of your lats, so I really work my rear delts to death with “FEEL” movements and high reps.
I also do not do AB work. I think your abs are used as support muscles and being lean keeps them visible. Look ay gymnasts, epecially women, their abs do show hypertrophy.
