My new favorite rear delt exercise!

**johnsbod** · 10-14-2005, 08:24 PM

Today I started incorporating hammer strength rows into my back workout again and I also train rear delts on back day. Right next to it was the hammer strength high grip row machine so I decided to give it a try. This hammered my rear delts more than any other exercise I've done. Just thought I'd share.

Does anyone else use this machine?

**Peaked_18** · 10-14-2005, 08:36 PM

I don't use that specific exercise, but I use a lot Hammer machines in my workout.

I wish I had more.

Any exercise that keeps the elbows high will work the rear delts specifically, but I don't like hammer strength, plus I don't like exercises that put pressure on my chest. I'd recommend them to anyone though, just not me

Yeah, i like barbell face pulls lying down on an incline bench. Now that i think about it, i do a lot of exercises on my incline bench.

It's kind of weird, the gym has a whole bunch of both (probably more plate loaded). I think between both styles they have every hammer strength machine available though.

John .. what other exercises do you do for rear delts?

**johnsbod** · 10-15-2005, 04:48 AM

Normally I just do 1 in my workout, but I had been doing DB rows to the chest. Others I've done in the past are lying rear delt machine (whatever it's called

you lay down and it's like a reverse pec deck), face pulls, bent over side laterals, and reverse pec deck.

i dont get it.... got a better pic?

LaggingBiceps · 10-15-2005, 01:09 PM

^^ mean either. just shake you head and nod along :yes:

**johnsbod** · 10-15-2005, 03:07 PM

Hmmm, I posted about this last night and the posts are gone.

I hope this means our server was changed last night.

Unfortunatley that's the best pic I could find. Basically, it's the same motion that is used on a Hammer Strength Row machine, but it is higher. The motion is a downward and inward arc that starts at about head level and finishes around the chest.

**SDFlipStyle** · 10-15-2005, 04:43 PM

yeah, what happened to our posts?

The server was actually switched. A few posts were lost, but at least the site downtime problem is now fixed.

ATTN: Site Down Time Fixed! - We've Switched Servers!
