Exercise Description

The rear delt barbell row to neck exercise builds strong rear deltoids and improves shoulder stability. It fixes rounded shoulders and creates better posture.

How To

1. Set up a barbell at chest height on a rack or use a Smith machine for the rear delt barbell row to neck. 2. Grab the bar with an overhand grip, hands wider than shoulder-width apart. 3. Pull your shoulder blades back and down, keeping your chest up and core tight. 4. Pull the bar towards your neck, leading with your elbows and squeezing your rear delts at the top. 5. Lower the bar slowly back to starting position, maintaining control throughout the rear delt barbell row to neck movement.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows high and wide during the rear delt barbell row to neck to target the rear delts properly. • Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of each rep. • Pull the bar to your neck level, not your chest, for maximum rear delt activation. • Focus on the rear delt barbell row to neck squeeze - hold for a second at the top.

Common Mistakes

• Pulling the bar too low towards the chest instead of the neck reduces rear delt activation in the rear delt barbell row to neck. • Using too much weight and swinging the body instead of controlled movement. • Letting the elbows drop too low during the rear delt barbell row to neck, which shifts focus away from rear delts.
