Target: Rear Delts. One simple movement and they’ll be on fire! by Nick Nilsson

Also, try to force your hands into as wide of an arc as possible and keep the dumbells as far away from your body as possible. This technique will help you to keep your shoulders down as you lift the weights.

What all these tips accomplish is to reduce the ability of the stronger back muscles to contract during the exercise, forcing the rear delt muscles to "shoulder" the burden of the exercise.

The keys to remember are:

1. Shoulders down throughout the movement.

2. Do a reverse wrist curl at the start.

3. Wrap your arms around a tree on the way up.

4. Raise the dumbells up in line with your head.

Incorporating these tips into the bent-over lateral movement will target your rear delts like a laser beam!
