How to do Bent Over Rear Delt Dumbbell Flys

[Tiger Fitness]

Bent Over Rear Delt Dumbbell Flys are an exercise I use to activate the rear delts. The rear delt is located on your back, just under the skull of your upper-back/neck area. It's a very important muscle that helps keep everything in line with good posture and how you carry yourself. There are many standing and seated shoulder exercises to work the front delt (pecs major). Bent over rear dell flys are one of the few standing or seated moves to direct focus on this muscle.



Bent Over Rear Delt Dumbbell Flys: Benefits and Muscles Worked: Strengthens the rear shoulders and upper back.


Many people often neglect the rear deltoid during their shoulder workout due to the fact that it cannot be seen with your own two eyes. However, to have the fully developed round shoulder look you must perform rear delt flys.

Rear delt flys are performed in a similar manner to side laterals with the exception of the fact that your torso is rotated down nearly parallel to the floor. Be sure to use a lighter weight in this movement to avoid injury.
