Shoulders!!!!

so i've been reading around about how you should start your shoulder exercises with rear delts first.

okay, so i understand the concept of isolation first, always. but can't you isolate with side laterals? or something else? why does it have to be rear delt?

if youre wanting to work your entire shoulder then PFFT to that idea.

#1. warm up your rotator cuff w/ rotator cuff exercises
#2. if youre working your entire shoulder (anterior, posterior, medial) then i would suggest always starting with PRESS movements (military).
#3. next would be the medial delt
#4. posterior delt.

start with compounds and finish with isolations...otherwise how can you effictively military press (eg) if your side delt is fatigued?

you should only do rear delt work first if they are lagging pretty bad compared to your front and side deltoids imo.. I always start with compound movements then move on to my isolation lifts.. like most people

try supersetting lateral raises with bent over raises, your delts will feel so fatigued

I agree, do heavy military presses/dumbbell presses to start then move on to your laterals and rear delts.

Personally I superset my rear delts with almost all of my shoulders exercises, apart from standing military press. Posterior delts are almost always the most lagging head for everyone, so I like to make sure it gets slaughtered, only way to have nice round delts. :]

I like the starting with a shoulderpress and then getting on to isolation like moves like front raises then side raises.
