I liked the rowing face pull

[@jameserphone20]

just wondering if integrating these into my existing shoulder workout would benefit my strength for overhead pressing and strongman work or if its only for physique purposes in bodybuilding

[@BritainW3llz]

Exercises 2 and 3 are good. Just make sure that you go a little higher on that face pull. Weapon X can also be modified with a shorter range of motion to focus more on rear delt recruitment. Exercise 1, however, should not be listed. We have to think about how the rear delt muscle fibers run. Although you may feel a rear delt contraction, it isn't actually from the press. The rear delts are actually being recruited due to externally rotating your elbows. The muscles that are actually the prime movers doing all of the work are the middle delts. Would you be offended if I did a video on why exercise 1 wouldn't necessarily fit? No hate and I still think that you're good at what you do. Just a good way to help educate our audience. Keep grindin, brotha!!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You can make your own video man! That's your choice! And while it's not rear delt specific, the rear delts will still be working with the dumbbell shoulder press

[@didiermontagnier6114]

@@ScottHermanFitness You labeled your video as rear delts improvement but those rear delts are barely recruited with pressing exercises, even if you risk a shoulder injury by flaring your elbows out. A better exercise for the muscle group would be dumbbell row with the elbow untucked. But hey, you’re the expert and the rest of us with years of lifting just don’t qualify 🤔

[@ShayyButter]

Thank you for this advice! I love getting rear delt definition, I usually do both the preloaded bar bell and the dumbbells for my over head press. But now I'll focus more on the dumbbells! Great advice!

thanks for pointing out back arching in the seated press! I totally do that, and didn't realize it was changing the movement pattern.

[@joeterry1913]

I see a lot of people do this in the gym... Myself included 😶😶😶

[@didiermontagnier6114]

seated presses are good for front and side delts developments, not rear delts. The more you arch your back, the more you recruit the front delts and the upper chest. Do dumbbell rows with the elbows untucked for rear delts.

[@anonwoohoo]

Hey Scott, thanks for the awesome video. My rear delts have been lagging for years! I used to do the pec-deck rear delt workout, but realized after years of 0 rear delt gains that I was compensating with my traps. I recently switched to using the cables and doing one-armed cable rear delt fly and have gotten some gains. I think a big reason why is that I'm crossing over my body and getting a big stretch on the rear delt in the eccentric movement, which helps me have the mind-muscle connection on the concentric movement. Do you think I could do the Wolverine/Weapon X movement with a one-arm variation?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Hey man! Yeah you could do it one arm at a time! As long as it's still the same range of motion!

[@FitAfter50]

[@ahmedredaelbaz4858]

There is no way that you can target rear delt with a pressing movement it can only be done with a pulling one that is like training your bicep with a pushdown or your back with a bench press Edit Reason is in the starting point of the movement (shoulder press) when your hands are next to your body your rear delts are shortened while your front delts are extended and in the ending point your rear delts are extended while your front delts are being shortened you can actually try that for yourself they are always opposite to one another from that we can conclude that one cannot asset the other, and with some basic bodybuilding knowledge we know that a muscle cannot contribute (be used) in a movement while it is being stretched only while being shortened (contracted)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I can tell you did ZERO RESEARCH. so watch this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOalKebdpmYmNk

[@FitAfter50]

if you don't have a rowing machine at home and use band for your face pulls, try kneeling down on the ground to reduce the moment arm, it will or should allow for a little more activation and weight.

[@joshblunt7165]

I prefer doing rear delts with resistance bands. I get a way better stretch and it gives you constant tension on rear delts. Face pulls work pretty well too, but I don’t think you need to up the weight that much with the row machine

[@Jay-tv2lz]

love how he switches accents between words like he sounds american but then the word barbell or dumbbell pops up n suddenly hes australian

[@baronhelmut2701]

The second and third exercises make sense for rear delts. The first is pretty much exclusively the side delts. Not even the direction is correct for targeting the rear delts. So im really confused as to why and how Scott came to the conclusion that this one would go on that list. Also the face pulls are an unnatural movement aswell. They target the rear delts well, but not without overstressing the joints involved in the movement. I would recommend going with a lat pulldown bar and rowing it towards your chest area. Much more Natural movement this way.

Hey Scott! for that last exercise, I personally do that as a back finisher and squeeze the sh*t out of my back. But I also do a similar variation for my rear delt. I lower the cables to about shoulder height and just keep my elbows parallel to the ground. Also I'm just trying to pull with my RD for that variation. I personally feel the RD better.. Great video btw!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Probably just means you are retracting more so it's not targeting the rear delts Gavin! But as long as you're doing it to hit the rear delts as well that's all good!

Hey Scott about the Dumbbell standing press, is it okay to bring them to the sides like that? Wouldn't the tension on the elbow joint be taking a much greater load than the muscles when they're lowered. I've been told to keep my elbows slightly in-front toward my hips so it takes the stress away from the joints. What's your take on that?

Would pull ups build the rear delts?

[@batdude811]

In word yes to some extent. Although primarily a lats and other upper back muscles exercise, pull ups and chin ups are among the best exercises you can do. You can Google and look up the many muscles it recruits. However I would still do isolation exercises for rear and medial delts especially. You can disregard front delt because there are plenty of other exercises (shoulders and chest) that give them plenty of work and recruitment.

[@NiceTubeAccount]

+1, best way to force exact part of arm growing is to lifting the barbell behind the head, what about your nice Camaro car? is still up and running?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

[@patrckhh20]

Hey Scott. Every time I do overhead DB shoulder press, I get pain in the back of my neck/upper spine. Once that pain is there, it affects other exercises and I have to take a break for a while. Do you think this could be due to weak traps?

Nice video Scott. I saw a video regarding face pulls where it was indicated that if you lead the motion with your elbows you recruit more your rear delts, if you lead with your hands and thumbs the pull motion you recruit more your back muscles.

Shoulders can be very unstable when doing standing dumbbell raises. Don't go too heavy or there is a risk for dislocating your shoulder. I actually dislocated my shoulder (torn labrum) from doing standing dumbbell raises. Was I a newb and went too heavy? Absolutely. Don't make the mistake I did.
