Good luck with fitness OP, I can tell you will definitely go far
>>35387206
This.
is it always necessary to do real-delt work?
I do bent-over rows and ohp
how will I know if I need to throw in an isolation exercise?
pull ups is best for all back muscles, period.

Why the fuck do people think OHP works rear delts?
Rows (especially rear delt rows) and chins/pullups work them. But many find they lag behind, and in that case it doesn't hurt to do some rear delt flyes.
You'll know if you need isolation if you're not satisfied with their size and they're imbalanced. It's as simple as that.
did reverse pec deck flys for the first time today and my rear delts are fucking blasted. i used to do seated rear delt raises but im pretty sure im gonna stick to pec deck.
1-arm facepulls

It's a meme you dip
>>35387184
It depends
If you tend to have shortened biceps (tight), I'd go with the straight arm rear delt flys. If you want to work your biceps into the movement, then use a face pull since that incorporates elbow flexion to assist scapular retraction and humeral ext rotation. I personally use the fly machine to keep my sternum in place and my lumbar out of it. To be honest, my rear delts are so fatigued from my other pulls I don't really require much weight.

same movement as bench but instead of push you pull

You mean a row?
>>35387907
it's a specific kind of row tho ^_^
it's called a rear delt row ^_^ xD
>>35387907
nope
row is elbows close to body and thus barely hits your rear delts
you want as big of an angle as possible without being in danger of injuring your shoulder over time, so about the same angle as you would use in a proper bench
lots of newbies dont get this. and then after a few months or maybe a few years they have shoulder problems. this happened to me. after a few years of lifting without paying enough attention to shoulder health I had chronic shoulder issues. but I managed to get rid of them over time by fixing my form, meaning never ever moving my arms into a horizontal position again during any exercise
>>35387959
impingement is real
>>35387823
wrong
>>35387970
>>35387823
nonsense, they only hit the lats
The best exercise is the picture you posted, OP. I love that shit.
I also like sitting on a 90 degree bench and holding the weights at an angle "shrugging" them up but only using your rear delts to pull.
Heavy Dumbbell rows
>>35387983
>>35387970
which is why you must bend a little forward so you don't straight up
>>35387823
considering delts are the main part of the back. Oh wait, they are the shoulders unless you're a genetic freak
Or just an idiotic CUNT
>>35387206
this desu
>>35387832
it does actually, if you have proper form.
you are supposed to lock it out pretty far behind your head like in pic related. not that it is enough, but it does work rear delts to some degree.
i know it's a power jerk, but this is basically how you should lockout a ohp.
>>35387184
Reverse Flyes are pretty good m8
wide grip pull ups. objectively, of course.
>>35390193
oh and overhead squats gave me insane rear delt doms recently
>>35387184
strict standard width pullups
OP's pic related is awesome for upper back / shoulders. Definately recommend doing this
band pull aparts
>>35387184
>rear delts?
rear delt lat raise
>>35390082
That's a squat jerk, really.
What function are the rear delts performing at the shoulder joint when you lock out like that? I'm just wondering. That is how I press (I am the guy you were replying to)
>>35390082
whatever you want to call it.
the entire musculature of the upper back support the weight when it gets past the plane of the head.
also when you use a muscle the whole muscle belly and all of his heads gets stimulated, even the one who are used less in terms of force production.
as i said you cant just rely on the overhead press but most of the workload on the rear delts actually comes from vertical pressing movements.

Facepulls are great for rear delts, and general shoulder health.
Rear delt flys are pretty great too. If you have a pec deck that can reverse, go for it. If you don't, do them with dumbbells, but you'll have to use 10-15lbs.
I like to do my face pulls with bands, and my rear delt flys with dumbells.
>>35390082
Still, the load on the front delts during OHP is so much bigger than the work the rear delts (allegedly) do
>>35387184
Boxing hard
million times better than any other exercise
>>35387184
I do a nice dumbell routine with different types of flys, in different directions, really works my delts, upwards, regular, regular palm facing forward, palm facing down, and downwards.
