Lying Rear Delt Row Instructions

Lying Rear Delt Row Technique

Lie chest down on elevated bench. Grasp dumbbells below.

Lying Rear Delt Row Form

Keeping upper arm perpendicular to torso and dumbbells just below elbows, pull dumbbells up until elbows are just above shoulders. Return and repeat.

If upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to trunk, latissimus dorsi becomes involved. Bench should be high enough to prevent dumbbells from hitting floor and close to horizontal. Lying at a 45� is not a sufficient angle to target the rear deltoids. Much lighter resistance is required as Dumbbell Lying Row.
