why do I always train my posterior deltoid last on shoulder day

[shanehanner]

I just realized the other day that it may not be good to always to my reverse flyes after lat raises and presses. I know I am getting good development in my front two heads because I train them hard and heavy first but after them I always train my post. delts last when I am tired and weaker, and as they are the weakest of the three heads I dont know why I put such little priority in them. I assume that others do the same (I know alot of people dont even understand how to train them). But at the same time I realizt that they het alot of heavy work on back day, as to my ant. delts do on chest day. So maybe it is best to prioritize the medial delts.

Typically you should do the heaviest movement first but if your rear delts are lagging, there would be no reason not to do them first. I doubt it would affect pressing or laterals much if any.
If you think it's necesary, maybe do a few extra sets of rear delts with back day(since tey're being worked anyway) if it is far enough apart from shoulders for recovery.

agreed. Liking the reason for your imbalance comes from the many presses you probably do when compared to the rowing movements. If the ratio between the two is too great then your likely to have the problem of underdeveloped rear delts as the front delts get that extra bit of work from benching.

i dunno but shoulder press seems to be the least tiring compound move.

dont really even sweat on shoulder day

It doesn't really matter. Everything else that you do on shoulder day really doesn't even work rear delts.

rear delts will prob never be as strong as your front delt head which is used for really heavy benching and such......you simply don't move the amount of weight with your rear delt as you do with your front to, I mean its used in pullups but more lats then it, so you really don't get the heavy compound movements for it like your front two........

try some one handed rows though should help you some and you can get pretty decent weight on that

if u don't sweat on shoulder days, you don't train hard

I just got back from my shoulder routine and posterior deltoids are always my exit out of the gym. I train them as hard as my medial and anterior deltoids so, to me, it doesn't matter that they come last.

Clean & press will soon cure that.
