Rear delts

Anthrax said:
Any ideas to hit the rear delts?

OK, let me elaborate a little more:
I've used and abused the typical chest and front delts routine which ended up with rounded shoulders, rotator cuff problems among other issues

So I'd like to correct this muscle imbalance and strengthen the rear deltoids

I'm already doing Bent over lateral raise (though I don't like it), seated rows, rear delt machine and face pulls

do u have an example of ur rounded shoulders?
i think i might have something similar

i got that shit also
help me get rid of it

I wish I could
and in case you didn't notice it, it's the purpose of this thread
 
I used the prone reverse lift for fun and it worked,
take two dumbells and bent over from the waist until your upperbody is paraller to the floor. Hold the dumbells palms facing front and arms almost straight lift them close to your body until paraller and hold for a sec. the return to starting position and repeat.
I did anywhere from 1-3 sets of 12-6 reps, takes a little getting used to but after that gave me a good pump on rear delts and was worth it...
 
Guess I'll chime in as another proponent of the compound moves.

Dead, Military/Push Press, Clean Pull have resulted in some noticeable size gains in my entire shoulder area and traps.

Plus they're just more fun to do than the front raise/bent over fly/chicken wing triumvarite with the 20lb db's.

I don't have to bogart my way down the db rack either ;)
 
lol @ chicken wing triumvirate

I kind of wondered about lateral raises even back as a complete n00b when I read that the movement is mostly useless unless you keep your pinky uppermost. Another exercise lost in the mists of memory. I sometimes wonder whether I'll find a reason to take all these little exercises up again when I'm an elite lifter.
