A muscle that you would be able to get to it’s maximally shortened place goes to be extra successfully stimulated than one which resides solely within the mid vary of contraction. For those who carry out dumbbell reverse flys to your rear delts you might be by no means shortening your posterior deltoid as a lot because it may very well be.

This extra quantity utilizing heavier masses will probably be a pleasant praise to the lighter extra direct work that you’re doing with the train proven on this video.

Talking of that rear delt train, right here is the important thing to performing it accurately. You wish to lean towards one thing just like the dumbbell rack in order that your torso is angled ahead with out angling too far in the direction of parallel. From right here you wish to give attention to pulling your elbow up and out to the facet whereas concurrently supinating your forearm. The forearm motion isn’t meant to interact the bicep however somewhat to help within the exterior rotation of the arm as you elevate it up. The posterior deltoid is able to serving to with exterior rotation of the shoulder and will probably be maximally activated if you mix the extension with rotation.

Maintain the contraction for a short second on the prime and check out to not cramp up. Many who do this motion for the primary time will really feel an intense muscle cramp as a result of they’ve by no means absolutely been capable of get this small muscle to succeed in such a shortened state.

  1. I am watching your videos for some time now and they are so so helpful man. I tried this exercise yesterday on my shoulder day and man i am telling you, it’s a rocket !! Never felt that muscle so bad. And I just used 10-12,5 dumbbell cause to do it all the way it didn’t get more! Keep it up man 💪💪

  2. I do my rear delts on back day it just always made sense with traps.
    Pulldown, row, rear delt fly, shrug and dumbell pullover (not tricep)Also this is a PULL day if your willing to do deadlifts or biceps.

  3. Great video, just came across and always looking at the best exercises as I get back into shape (I'm down 50 lbs this year and feel good). Question as the movement and angles are counter to what I understand are safe for a shoulder injury (pinch, rotator pain). I'm all about an efficient exercise, any tips to avoid front shoulder pain or is this an exercise I should not add out till shoulders are stronger? Thanks

  4. I have three reasons to work out:
    3) By God I'm going to have a six pack once in my life
    2) One day I'm going to put my little girl down and never pick her up again; that's not going to be because I'm unable to lift her
    1) I'm going to live long enough to see my girl grow up; screw heart disease

    Pro Tip: Don't wait till your number one reason is the same as mine. That is scary AF.

  5. 🙄 sigh…* This guy says "do crunches if you want a flat belly…" Then that guy says "Doing crunches won't give you a flat belly!".. then some other guy says "do this if you want good pecs!…" Then another guy says "no! don't do those, those will just chest injuries!…" then some dude says "Do reverse flies if you want to build and strengthen your rear delts…" then the next guy says "DON'T do reverse flies!!" … being new to all of this, I'm' realizing that it's getting more and more frustrating to know what's right and what's wrong … who to listen to and who to avoid. 🤷‍♂🤦‍♂

  6. yeah at first i tried to do this excercise with no luck, no fck muscle connection whtso-ever, BUT the trick for me as JEFF said is to lift the elbow high enough and supinate at the same time @3.25 …..THEN IT KICKED IN! now its on of the best excersises for rear delt with DB's..
