Barbell Rear Delt Raise

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip.

Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and chest up.

Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement to reduce joint strain.

Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of each rep to maximize rear delt activation.

Do not swing the torso or raise the barbell with momentum.

Do not turn the movement into a row by pulling the elbows toward the ribs.

Do not force the range of motion or throw the head back at the top.
