The first-ever Olympia Women\u2019s Physique champion, Dana Linn Bailey still looks stage ready thanks to her love of finding new ways to keep her body buff. And, in a recent Instagram post<\/a>, Bailey, who won her Olympia prize back in 2013, shows that she\u2019s still using fresh training techniques to build her body better. \u201cWant bigger rear delts? Try this,\u201d enthused your dream personal trainer.<\/p>\n

\u201cRear delts, one of those muscles that everyone, I feel like, needs to work on a little bit more,\u201d said Bailey in an instructional video for her 2.2 million IG followers.<\/p>\n

What Are the Rear Delts?<\/h2>\n

The rear delts, or posterior deltoids, are the muscles that sit at the back of your shoulders and help to facilitate shoulder extension and rotation. Building the rear delts is important because this muscle can help take the load off the side (lateral) and front (anterior) deltoids during movement, preventing injury while creating a shapely upper back<\/a> in the process. Working the rear delts requires getting the arm behind your back while also searching for a stretch, but this is where the rear-delt fly can be limited in motion.<\/p>\n
