Incase the first one didn’t load. Sorry if this is a repost. Kai Greene performing the exercise. No atachment, hold onto the rubber ball at the end of the cable.
End position.
Wow, good find cueball. I’ll definitely give that a shot today instead of reverse pec deck.
Like others have said, I like doing DB laterals face down on the incline bench. Also Bent over laterals from the low pully great to isolate when done one at a time.
I generally only do one rear delt specific exercise when I train shoulders as I feel they get a lot of work on back day (DB row espeacially. If I want to focus on the rear delt than I just make it my first shoulder exercise after a warm up.
What do you guys do? (# of exercises, sets ect)

theres like 2 exercises for rear delts dude
those and face pulls.
PFFF
YTM’s, Bent over laterals, Bent over cable laterals, reverse pec dec, seated bent over laterals, 45 degree bench laterals.
think outside the box
a reverse pec dec is a rear dealt fly. the rear delt is so small that theres really no sense in fussing over how you train it.
its like saying preacher curls and e-z bar curls are somehow exclusively different a curl is a curl, a rear fly is a rear fly.
so is a front squat a back squat cuz a squat is a squat? hey they both work the quads AND HAMSTRINGS AND GLUTES.[/quote]
Fixed!
The legs are a lot bigger muscle group then the bi’s and rear delt’s. So, I don’t think your reasoning applies the same way Live was explaining.
I do agree that there is more then one way to skin a cat though…

never did i say that they ONLY work the quads. the bicep is a small muscle group too, but god knows there’s 1000 or more curl variations

theres a lot of curl variations because theres a lot of people who obsess over biceps. a curl is a curl. some ways might work a little different but nothing extreme. i do like 2-3 different kinds of curls.

Rofl. I just clicked that link and I had the speakers set to max. I had no clue what to do for 2 seconds, click pause or lower the volume.
Anyway back on topic, I like reverse flys.
this might sound out of place, but i go to an indoor rock climbing gym for shoulder work. i’ve never has a good a burn on the rear delts than rock climbing because they’re almost always in action - added bonus is forearms, which i find boring to do in a gym.

bodybuilding refers to physical development. i rarely comment on my outside the gym stuff and even noted that it would sound out of place, but seeing that all the other types of exercises were covered, i was adding what i do and what i find works. there is a cap to rear delts in climbing since it’s based on your body weight for the most part, but if you’re operating under that cap, than it’s a quick way to close the gap and increase weight limits at the gym.

that’s a rather bold assumption since you don’t know anything about me. my profile says on/off for 6 years and i’m underweight because of a medical condition, not that bulk and weight gain are my goals. and to attack my post showing appreciation for a good link is just ridiculous.

you’re just putting words out there. never said it was the best delt exercise, i said it works and is an alternative if nothing else seems to work. never said i had huge delts, but i actually do so whatever.

For variety and freaky skills try working towards a front lever or a lower variation of. I started doing the progression on dragondoor and within 4 weeks I’d built myself a nice looking set of rear delts and teres major, and this is someone who’d previously never trained rear delts and didn’t even know the teres muscle existed.
Also featured on beastskills
Best bit is all you need is a bar, if you ever get to the point of wanting to add weight to this exercise you’re a freak 
Thanks I will be trying these, any tips?
Yup. You’ll make very fast progress in the first few days. Along the lines of: My god, at this rate I’ll be the first person to hold a front lever for 5 minutes straight within a month. However this will stop quickly, and it’s the next month or so of pushing and pushing to break PR’s that will get you the real strength and muscle gains, just like with other training. Play around with everything, decreasing rest times, increasing set times slowly, doing it more than once in a day. Just train daily resting maybe every 5th-6th day or so. The only thing that matters is progress and you’ll get there.[/quote]
cheers mate, l have been practicing daily and what you said is very true haha.

You do? Please post pics of huge delts.
This is a bodybuilding forum. I am not sure why some of you think that means “jump into every thread and list exercises that you do even though you aren’t very big and (off and on) aren’t very dedicated”. If you have a medical condition that limits your body weight, again why would you jump into a thread that is clearly about how to build impressive shoulders?
You just wrote you have huge delts. If you do, could you please show what they look like so your advice can have some credibility? You just recommended that bodybuilders should go rock climbing for better development. If that is not what you meant, then why type it here?
deadlifts
Kroc rows
all forms of chinups/pullups
face pulls
lift really heavy weights on these (except for the face pulls) and you won’t need to waste time on rear delt flyes and those sissy exercises. Your rear delts, traps and lats will be huge.
