Posterior Deltoid Exercises?
Hey guys!
So I have been building seriously for a while now (~5mo)- starting to see some results.
I realize that I have always neglected the rear deltoid, it feels like it's one of those muscle groups that you need to actually target in order to be able to build them instead of relying on compound movements.
I've only realized this today when I looked at my medial deltoid in the mirror today. The anterior portion (which I train military presses) is significantly more muscular and protrudes greater than the posterior deltoid (which has no protrusion at all). I also do lateral raises for the medial portion.
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem of anterior/posterior deltoid disproportionality during bodybuilding. I suppose I should start doing the reverse pec fly machine ASAP!
My question is, what other exercises are good to build the posterior deltoid?
Don't neglect the important minor muscles
I agree with the fact that you should keep it simple and bulk up. However, those minor shoulder muscles are just as important if not more important then any chest or bicept muscle ect. Make sure you work the posterior delts and serradus muscle because it could lead to serious shoulder injury. After shoulder surgery and physical therapy my back is in way better shape. Do pulls ups, serradus push ups, rows. Don't worry about how much weight, it's just a number..especially with minor muscles in your back and shoulder.
