I started doing face pulls at the gym, and then everybody else started doing face pulls. It’s a great exercise.

No
The best way to hit them is with reverse flyes

Lateral Raises? Between face pulls and Raises I seem to do alright. Still wish there was something easier though.

This. Face pulls are good but it takes time to really develop the mmc with them. And must people never reach that point

Most don’t even do them right, myself included. Just realized how poorly I’ve been doing them.

Personally single arm DB rows for higher reps (10x4s moving to 13x6s at highest volume with a 20kg) really make a huge diff in only a few months.

Bent over rows pulling the bar to your upper chest, elbows flared comfortably.

Or with dumbbells, try to touch them to your front delts, elbows flared comfortably. Can also be done unilaterally.

Until a person learns how to squeeze and flex the rear delts, it doesn’t even matter. And once you do, you’ll be able to do it using a variety of exercises, so it still doesn’t matter.

The bottom line is learning how to contract them and learn the difference between the rear delts and the traps, which is the difficult part for most.

DB rear delt rows are seriously underrated. You can really overload the muscle and gives me the goat contraction

Face pulls, reverse flys, and end with rear delt Y raises and you're good to go

They're a far better shoulder rehab exercise than they are a rear delt builder.

Stick to rear delt rows and pec dec/cable rear delt flies

Lateral raises don't build rear delts unless you're doing them terribly wrong
