The fitness industry has been mired in a bunch of bs overcomplication of exercises for many years. And all of that wanking accomplishes a lot of nothing. But those people have the goal of creating 45 minute videos to pump the algorithm, keep you confused, and get views.

I'm here to help.

So I will be putting up a series of exercise technique videos, showing you how I teach the movements for best results. But unlike most in the industry I won't be getting into deep anatomical wanks. IF you can't explain it simply you don't understand it. These people don't but I do

Let me note, these videos all have as their goal optimizing HYPERTROPHY training. Not performance, not strength, HYPERTROPHY. So spare me questions or comments (which I won't read) about "Does this apply to powerlifting?" or whatever.

HYPERTROPHY.

Continuing from last week's videos on pullovers, I want to now look at the reverse pec deck for training the rear delts to finish up back.

Wait you ask, rear delts as part of back. Well hear me out.

First I'll look a little bit at some basic anatomy and biomechanics stuff (don't worry, it's not endless verbal wankery) before explaining why I think rear delts should be considered part of the back in terms of training (and should be put on pull day if you do a PPL split).

Then I'll show you a way to use the reverse pec deck to better isolate the rear delts while deliberately taking the midback OUT of the movement.

Finally I'll show a rear delt exercise I bet you haven't seen before.
