Rear Delts

[JJFigure]

I need to beef up my rear delts - any suggestions?

 

[JollyRogers]

deadlifts & flat bench

high pulls, cleans, shrugs, upright rows, bent over rows. behind neck press.

 

[Torstein]

Agreed.
If you are one of those who feel comfortable with behind the neck press, you should definetively take advantage of this superb exercise.. Just be careful

reverse flyes and rear delt raises.

i have had the best result using 2 sets of 15 after rows, deads etc

Bent over rows and pull-ups(palms facing away) are pretty much all i do for rear delts and they grow ok. Deadlifts are good too.

I gotta second the deads, shrugs, cleans and add snatches. I would say push presses have helped since with the added leg drive, I can press more weight.

Cleans and snatches from the hang have also been helpful. While I don't do anymore direct rear delt work, my rear delts have never been fuller and thicker. I attribute this to the deads and various cleans and snatches.

Here are some other:

close grip t-bar rows
dumbbell rows
bent db laterals
rear delt machine

Cool - thanks guys!

I just started to do cleans, and now that I'm done competing for the rest of the year, I was planning on putting more focus on my DLs. Looks like I'm heading in the right direction...

I personally like bent-over rows with a wide overhand grip, cleans and reverse flyes
