5 Best Rear Delt Exercises To Shape Up Your Rear Delts

#2 Dumbbell Reverse Fly

The entry-level dumbbell workout is highly effective in building the shoulder, especially the rear deltoid muscles. Along with working on the shoulder, the reverse fly also targets the upper back region.

Instructions

Step 1: Hold dumbbells in both the hands and stand with slightly bent knees. Have a straight back and slightly bend forward using your hips.

Step 2: Move both the arms sideways by ensuring a slight bend at the elbows. Squeeze your shoulder blades while lifting the dumbbells.

Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tips: A variation of this exercise could also be performed either by sitting or by lying prone on an incline-decline bench. Do not rush through the exercise and focus on slow progressions.
