This is a follow up video to my previous shoulder workout with cables video that I posted earlier this week…
Some people left me comments saying that they could not adjust the cable cross over station at their gym. So they wanted to know if there was a variation to the standing rear delt cable fly exercise that I demonstrated for working the rear deltoids.
So in this video I’ll show you that exact same exercise, but instead of doing it standing from a middle pulley, we are going to lay down on the floor using the low pulley cable. Most gyms should have a low pulley set up similar to this. So you should be able to do this exercise as part of your shoulder workouts to build up the rear delts and upper back.

Give these shoulder exercises a try in in your own workouts, and then leave me a comment below to let me know how they work for you!
If you are looking for an alternative to cable machines, I highly recommend that you order a set of Adjustable Tension Rubber Fitness Bands from: http://www.BodyLasticBands.com
These are adjustable resistance bands that allow you to vary the resistance based on the exercises you are doing. And these bands start at just a few pounds of tension and go all the way up to over 250 pounds in tension, so they are strong enough for ANYONE to get a good workout with.

Thanks for the follow up Lee. Very creative, never even thought of trying it that way. Much appreciation!

Lee,
I’ve used this exercise before, but I attach a handle to the cable and pull it back leading with the back of my hand thinking that I am better isolating my rear delt. Can you explain the benefit of grabbing the ball of the cable with your hand in more of a neutral grip?
Thanks for your response and for all of your great info.

It just changes the angle. I suggest trying both variations and use the one that feels best for you. I personally just like to grab the cable like in this video.

hey leehayward… its been amazing under your coaching….. i am enjoying alot.
shoulder exercises using cable cross over is amazing. but i don’t feel comfortable doing these exercise, most probably becuz of ma damn gym cable cross over machine.
i like to ask u tht. while doing sholder exercises its imp to do dumbell press or army press or just do barbell presses both overhead and arnold press.
secondly plz demonstrate some exercise using dip machine and how to use this machine and this machine effect which part of the body… plz use dip machine for real delt of shoulder.
thanks
umer.

Hey Lee i Jus done y Killer shoulder workout with thr cables Wat a workout i had keep up THW Good work
Nahal
Very nice variation!
I was thinking about the range of motion and the isolation of the rear delts. After trying many rear delts exercises I found that stopping in the middle instead of going all the way back to the starting point keeps more tension on the rear delts rather than getting a lot of help from the back. I would like to know your opinion on that…so, what do you think Lee?
Thanks for all your valuable information!
