JUMost people are wasting time on rear delts without realizing it.
Here’s how these 3 reverse fly variations stack up — and why some hit way harder than others:
1️⃣ Seated Reverse Fly (Palms Down): 3/10
Looks good on paper… but in practice, this setup limits rear delt tension. Keeping your palms down can shift the focus to your traps and rhomboids.
2️⃣ Incline Reverse Fly (Neutral Grip): 7/10
Better setup — neutral grip improves scapular alignment, and lying on an incline bench reduces cheating. But the resistance curve is weak towards the bottom of the movement, meaning rear delts don’t stay challenged through the full range.
3️⃣ Cable Reverse Fly (Neutral Grip): 9/10
Top-tier rear delt tension. Cables provide consistent resistance, better match the rear delt’s strength curve, and allow for a more direct line of pull.
