Cable Isolateral Standing Rear Delt Row
The Cable Isolateral Standing Rear Delt Row primarily works the Posterior Deltoid, with secondary activation of the Brachialis, Brachioradialis, Infraspinatus, Lateral Deltoid, Rhomboids, Teres Minor, Trapezius (Lower), Trapezius (Middle) and stabilizer support from the Biceps Brachii (Long Head), Erector Spinae. It is a cable compound exercise at intermediate difficulty.

Instructions
- Preparation: Stand facing twin pulley cables positioned shoulder height. Grasp stirrup cable attachment in each hand. Step back with one foot so arms and shoulders are positioned straight forward with cable taut. Point elbows outward. Execution: Pull stirrups out to sides, keeping elbows at shoulder height until elbows travel slightly behind back. Allow wrists to follow elbows. Keep upper arms horizontal, perpendicular to trunk. Return until arms are extended and shoulders are stretched forward. Repeat. Comments: The relatively powerfulLatissimus Dorsibecomes involved:
