Rear Delt Row Instructions

Rear Delt Row Technique

Kneel over side of bench with arm and leg to side. Grasp dumbbell.

Rear Delt Row Form

Pull dumbbell up out to side with upper arm perpendicular to trunk until upper arm is just beyond horizontal. Lower and repeat.

If upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to trunk, latissimus dorsi becomes involved. Positioning torso at 45� is not a sufficient angle to target the rear deltoids. Keep torso bent over approximately horizontal. Much lighter resistance is required as Dumbbell Bent-over Row.
