If you have an issue developing your rear delts (and in particular, feeling your rear delts working when you try and train them), this is an exercise you will absolutely want to try.

The normal Bent-Over Lateral Raise is a good exercise for rear delts...as long as you have the muscle control and focus needed to really make sure you're getting the contraction the actual rear delts and not letting the larger, stronger muscles of the upper back take over.

What we're going to do with the exercise is FORCE the rear delts into an optimal peak contracted position and give you the time and opportunity to make sure it happens.

One of the problems with rear delt lateral raises is the instability of the dumbbells. When it comes to developing the rear delts, because of the propensity of the larger upper back muscles to take over, you can actually want to minimize instability. This can be pretty effectively done by using a flye machine facing backwards.

If you don't have that, or if you want something even BETTER, try this.

By the time you've done a full of set of 8-10 reps, your rear delts will have an incredible, almost painful pump...they will be lit up in a way that you may not have ever felt before, especially if you've really gotten your mind into the muscle and focused on that contraction.

In terms of sets, I would actually recommend just one or maybe two sets of this one at the end of a shoulder workout, taken essentially to muscular failure. You don't want a lot of training volume for this one...you want targeted tension.

Bottom line, if you have an issue with rear delts, try this one. It's an exercise that will help you laser-target your rear delts like nothing else.
