Excellent as always. Surprisingly few people suggest internal rotation of the hands/wrists - I discovered when experimenting how more rear delt activation you get this way, and reduces the interference from the lats.
I enjoy watching this video because it is very helpful to me. Doing the right set up can help the body a nice workout, otherwise it won't work. I am definitely giving this a try because this is the kind of workout I want to do.
Your video reminded me how little I focus on my back, rear delts etc. I think it's because I don't have a lot of equipment and didn't realize there were effective exercises like this you could do with just dumbbells. This is getting added to my routine for sure!
I love your videos showing the proper form to do exercises. You are always very detailed in your instructions. I always learn so much. Thanks for showing us how to do exercises safely with proper form.
I just worked out and tried rear delt flys for first time (I'm a noob) - was trying to do 20 pound dumbbells with my atrophied rear delt muscle lol. No wonder I felt like I could barely lift them and had bad range of movement. This video is super helpful.
Great workout. Will try. Do you have anything for weak interscapular muscles? My 22 y/o daughter had a stroke and needs to strengthen these muscles. Thanks!!!
Hey Gernot, thanks for writing in and great question. A couple exercises to help strengthen the interscapular region are Standing Rows/Face Pulls and I/Y Raises. For the Standing Rows/Face Pulls, place a resistance band around a post, allowing the band to be stretched out with her arms extended. Have her pull her hands back toward her armpits, squeezing her shoulder blades as if she were crushing a can. For I/Y raises, have her lie on her belly with her arms straight/extended over her head. Have her lift them a few inches off the ground and hold as if she were making a letter "I", then down to a "Y" position. Each can be performed in 3 sets with 10 repetitions of each. -The FFP Team
WHAT AN INFORMING VIDEO WITH VERY GREAT DETAIL ON HOW TO EXERCISE IN THE GYM. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT, MAN... COULDN'T HAVE EXPLAINED IT BETTER MYSELF!!!!!
It's so easy to (falsely) assume that rear delts get worked sufficiently by upper back exercises. I wholeheartedly agree that the rear delts need direct work like this, and thanks for sharing the tip about the hand position.
Hey Wadz, thanks for writing in and great question! I wouldn't say it's bad to do one side at-a-time, more that you can ensure equal development when doing it simultaneously. However, if you feel confident in your focused efforts you can break them apart. Thanks for watching and happy lifting! -The FFP Team
Hey thanks for writing in and great question! The number of sets will really depend on the rest of your workout schedule and routine. If doing this as part of a full-body routine, we recommend doing this 3-4x/week or every-other-day. Doing 3 sets per session is a good place to start, increasing to 4 as you see fit.

I like that there's a lot of educating on the details here instead of just a plain tutorial. Thanks for the info!
As always, Dr. A, good, good stuff! Love it!
Thanks man,

The quality of your instruction is top notch, shows a doctor is best qualified to explain the reason for an exercise and what works best.

Great video..
Always good to get some back work in to balance all the pressing
Great stuff 💪💪
Thanks for the comments on form, seems I've been a little off on these.
Is there anything bad about doing them one side at a time so you can really focus on the muscle connection?
Hey Wadz, thanks for writing in and great question! I wouldn't say it's bad to do one side at-a-time, more that you can ensure equal development when doing it simultaneously. However, if you feel confident in your focused efforts you can break them apart. Thanks for watching and happy lifting!
