The rear delt machine targets your rear delts, upper back, and scapular muscles. The stable movement helps you focus on your rear shoulders.
1. Sit on the machine seat and place your chest or back against the pad (depending on the machine structure).
2. Grab the handles and position your arms at shoulder height or slightly below.
3. Firmly plant your feet to prevent your body from swaying and get ready.
1. Pull the handle towards your body side or back while pulling your elbows back.
2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and contract your upper back and rear shoulders.
3. Hold for a moment, then slowly return to the starting position.
4. Repeat the same movement for your desired number of repetitions.
Exhale when pulling the handle, and inhale when returning.
1. Don't pull with just your arms; focus on the movement of your shoulder blades.
2. Avoid excessive weight as it can put strain on your shoulder joints.
3. Do not sway your upper body back and forth; keep it fixed on the pad.
