in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Anyone have any suggestions for exorcises that target your rear delts other than bentover reverse flies?

    Bent over flys are great seated or standing. You can also to reverse cables as those work great too. If you have any other questions just ask, I'm here to help bud.

    Most rowing movements
    Face pull (with rope)
    Single-Joint Exercises

    Reverse Pec deck machine
    Rear delt machine
    Standing cable reverse fly
    One-arm bent-over cable lateral raise
    Bent-over dumbbell lateral raise
    Incline bench bent-over dumbbell lateral raise
    Head-supported bent-over dumbbell lateral raise
    Seated bent-over lateral raise

    I think Face Pulls are usually considered the go-to for this.
    Almost any exercise that targets the rear delt as the primary muscle is going to be somewhat like a reverse fly.

    I like the contraction I get w/ the face-pull exorcise, but I don't think I'm doing enough weight. I have difficulty keeping my balance b/c of a bad knee. There must be a way to do that exorcise from a seated position, maybe on the incline bench? I appreciate the help, guys!

    Face pulls are not supposed to be a heavy exercise. Do them slow and squeeeeeeeze...

    Face pulls...it was the primary exercise my physio had me do to build my rear delts to help start pulling my shoulders back from a muscular imbalance.

    I do them seated with about 50 lbs total on my pulley tower with the rope attachment.

    I highly recommend the second video J72FIT posted. It goes through several variations, and if you have an issue with balance it even shows you how you can do it lying on the ground. And if you are doing the face pull properly you really don't need to be yanking a huge amount of weight.

    Face pulls are great
    Single arm external rotation using cables is also great isolator for rear delts
