This rear-delt variation of the bent-over row uses a wide grip and flared elbows to specifically target the rear shoulders and upper back. It helps counteract forward shoulder posture and builds pulling strength.
Instructions
- Hold the bar with a wide overhand grip and stand upright.
- Hinge forward at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor.
- Pull the bar to your upper chest with elbows flared out wide.
- Squeeze the rear delts at the top, then lower the bar under control.
- Repeat for the desired reps.
