3 Part Cable Rear Delt Destruct
** You will do 2 sets of 10-12 reps at each of the (3) inclined bench positions.
Ok, let’s get this correct as we head into the New Year.
#1 question I get is “I do tons of heavy shoulder presses, my shoulders don’t grow.”
Well yeah, the anterior deltoid which is the “front” deltoid you are working when you shoulder press is a tiny little muscle that adds no shoulder width.
You want big impressive shoulders?
** Work them from the back to the front.
• Specifically load them in the fully shortened position seen here in video (1)
• Finish in the lengthened position seen in video (3)
**Now, what changed in videos (1,2,3)??
• Looks like the exact same movement right?
Yes, the only thing I changed was the angle of the bench.
• I started with the bench almost completely upright, putting the posterior deltoid in its shortened state.
• I then lowered the bench to 45 degrees in video (2) and around (15) degrees in video (3)
Renrmber “A muscle is strongest where its longest” which is why we finish when fatigued in the lengthened positions
