Rear Deltoid exercises

The posterior deltoid is the rear head that extends and externally rotates the arm. It is undertrained in anyone who only benches. Reverse flyes, face pulls, and rear-delt rows are the typical catalog entries. Because it shares real estate with the traps and rhomboids, a poorly tagged row could land on back; this hub only lists rows whose target role is the rear deltoid. Horizontal abduction with a soft elbow is the pattern. Machines, cables, and dumbbells all appear. If you came from the shoulder group page, this is the head the map highlights on the back of the figure. Similar-exercise links stay inside rear-delt mechanics rather than dumping you into a full pulling day. No tracker, no split — just the movements the atlas stored for this muscle.
