Kneeling Rear Delt RaiseThe kneeling rear delt raise will work the often overlooked rear deltoid. Because you don't see it many people ignore this muscle. It's important to work all three heads of the deltoid for balanced development and to prevent injuries. Especially to the fragile rotator cuff. 
To perform the kneeling rear delt raise:1. attach a resistance tube near the floor to either a chair leg or anchored under a door, or use a cable stack machine in a gym. 2. kneel on all fours on a mat to protect your knees. Have the tubing at your left side. 3. reach under your body with your right hand and grab the handle. Adjust the tubing so there is some tension on it at the beginning. Stabilize your spine by tightening your core like in the plank manuever. 4. extend your right arm out to the side so that your hand is parallel with the ground by contracting the rear delt on your right side. Hold for a one count at the top and slowly lower. If you are doing traditional rear delt raises while seated on the edge of a bench, try this version instead. The extra core stabilization alone makes it worthwhile. Questions?
