My favorite movement for rear delts!

This is my favorite exercise for the rear delts and two variations you can do.

Either 1: Rear delt flys with two cable attachments or

2: Rear delt flys on the machine.

Both ways remember to keep a slight bend in your elbows and engage your core. Only go as far as to your sides before controlling the weight to come back to the middle (avoid going too far behind you).

Keep the handles shoulder height so for me this means standing while on the machine because #shortgirlproblems 😂

... Read moreBuilding strong rear delts is crucial for a balanced physique and improved shoulder stability. The rear deltoids play an essential role in shoulder movements and overall upper body strength. People often overlook this muscle group, leading to imbalances that can cause injury. When performing the rear delt flys, it's important to ensure that you're using the right weight. Start light to master the technique before increasing the resistance. This approach allows for better control, helping to prevent injury and optimize muscle engagement. Incorporating both variations into your routine can enhance your workout. With cable attachments, you’ll enjoy constant tension throughout the exercise, while the machine provides more stability. Additionally, pay attention to your form and breathing. Exhale as you lift the weights and inhale when you lower them. Engaging your core can also help maintain stability throughout the movement. Consistency is key; aim to include these exercises into your training regimen at least once a week for the best results. Remember to stretch after your workout to maintain flexibility and promote recovery. Elevate your fitness journey today by focusing on the often-neglected rear delts!
