military press behind the neck
 
Any rear delt exercise for 8-10 sets per week

Also your butt should be in wounds from trenbolone acetate syringes

Military press works entire shoulder
i already do that tho, but i need an excersise that targets the rear delts mostly and any other muscles other than the rear delt shouldnt be involed. for me my lateral delts are over developed and look wierd from the side

Imo that's good enough just be consistent, I am doing dumbbell flies. Just be consistent and switch to something different in couple of month
 
Face pulls? I dont go to the gym so i dont really know what Im talking about but I hope this helps

theres almost no restistance at the stretched position, try a cable fly for the rear delt and see how it goes and keep ur arms straight bhai 🫡

Tbh a lot of exercises kind of hit the rear delt, enough to give it a bit of work but not enough to have any intensity/growth, so if I train rows, or normal shoulder presses, I'll superset with rear delt flys

elbows flared out seated rows.
 
bent over dumbbell flies sitting on a bench… made my rear delts blow up. Before that I was doing reverse pec deck and never felt it much in my rear delts. Sit on a bench, bend over, and do the flies at a 45-60 degree angle , this will get you the best rear delt contraction. When you start getting tired you can use your upper back to help you “row” the weight at the top and continue hammering your rear delts.

Been following GVS since he had like 20k subs. He also has a great video on making your own upper lower split, and it's free.
I've been using that split and it has given me way better results than the full body programs found on Reddit.

You won't get 3D delts by training each part. You'll get them by training shoulders consistently for many years. I've been overhead pressing for many years and with that lift alone I developed very big shoulders. I just started doing lateral raises regularly for the first time and because I'm a beginner at that lift, the weight on it went up very quickly, and also because my front delts are very big and very strong so it helps.

You can do face pulls for the rear delts, use a cable machine to progressively overload it, use a rope to do the face pull. Overhead press and lateral raises should be your bread and butter in my opinion. Face pulls can give you a bit more growth, but the rear delt is the smallest part of the shoulder. Front delt is most important, side delt is second, rear delt is last, in terms of how much they can grow.

to target it directly you do one of three movements:
shoulder horizontal abduction, shoulder extension and shoulder external rotation
doing external rotation is stupid
i reccomend doing the former becouse it targets the muscle the most without activating the back as the main muscle
excercises:
1. machine shoulder horizontal adduction
2. cable shoulder horizontal adduction unilateraly
3. lean on bench unilateral reverse flies

@enriquecel i meant horizontal abduction which means farthening it from the body, you can search that up or feel it, "adduction" was a typo and means the opposite

i get what you mean saar
 
@enriquecel A very underrated one I never see getting mentioned is a variation of cable pulls. It goes like this: set the cable in the upmost position (above your head), grab the round thingy on the cable (right above where the attachments go) with the hand opposite of the cable (i.e: I'd grab the right side with my left hand); brace with the other hand on something solid (optional), keep a straight back. The key stands in this: DON'T BEND AT THE ELBOW. You're trying to hit the rear delt, not the triceps. Instead, pull the round thing to your waist level with your arm straight at a 45° angle and give it a light squeeze at the top. The closest thing I can make you think of is your arms will make an "X" shape, in a way, if you're doing the exercise with both your hands. Also, heavy rows for the upper back could also help. Variation is key and the rear delt is hard to grow!
