    Another great exercise for rear Delts is the cable archery-pull. Set the machine in the roughly middle position and grab just the ball or stopper rubber on the end of the cable. The other hand use to grab the machine as if you were holding a bow then do the movement of pulling back the string or cable just like you see Longbow shooters do it. This gives a unique full range movement that works many muscles. Then swap sides!

    Awesome video! Feel as though you may have missed a detail on reverse pec dec, I personally lean into the machine as oppose to moving the weight perpendicularly and find it really helps form a mind-muscle connection. I know this cue is used by many trainers, I recently saw Hany Rambod use it who is often credited as one of, if not the best trainer.

    Thanks for the reassurance Jeff. A good set of shoulders is impossible without rear delt work.
    Lying on your side on a bench whilst performing one rear delt flye at a time allows you to target the stretched range of the strength curve ie. It gets around the issue of flyes failing to generate tension at the bottom of the movement. I've done these for product a year and saw tremendous improvements in my rear delts without needing to "flex" them. Pairing these up with flyes, pec deck, cables or face pulls allows the full strength curve to be targeted

    I’ve been mixing every one of these exercises into my training. Face pulls are my favorite and I do them at the end of any workout to make up for my muscle imbalance and now my delts are beauties.
    Narcissistic but truthful
    My favorite shoulder exercises are incline barbell(work up to heavy then light for reps), standing barbell shoulder press(heavy 5x6), and light DB lateral raises (high reps of slow and controlled 1.5 reps(up slow down half way slow, back to the top, and then back down(that’s 1 rep)))

    Amazing video. Going to websites for a list of excersizes is useless if you don't understand the ranges and technique of the motions. Thanks a lot, I'm gonna go try these right now!

    Just as Jeff said, you can do the face pull with cables instead of rope. You can also do face pulls with resistance bands. For people with back pain, they can swap out the bent over dumbbell reverse fly or dumbbell bent over face pull with cables, machine, or resistance bands. One exercise to replace the dumbbell reverse fly is the reverse pec deck.

    You probably will not read this Jeff, but I heard about you and your channel on the "Stronger By Science" podcast and instantly subbed as I saw this video. :)
