Default Something I've noticed about most guys' physiques

I see lots of built guys at the gym who have pretty good physiques, but it seems like the one thing they consistently overlook is training their rear delts. It's probably because it's easy to forget about a bodypart that you don't see when flexing in the mirror. That and rear delt exercises aren't that enjoyable IMO. It looks terrible though because without balance from the rear delt, the front pulls the shoulder forward and you get a slumped shoulder look. Just a reminder to you guys to not neglect your rear delts.

My delts are probably my best feature at this point, other than maybe my insane obliques. Everything else is small but for some reason my delts respond pretty well to not much work. I do rear delt and rotator cuff work every week. Not as glamorous or fun as working other body parts, but very important IMO.

I see that a lot too. I see a lot of guys that only work out what they can see in the mirror. But since they don't ask, I don't volunteer that info. Besides that means the delt machines are always available! Same with the leg curl.

I do prone rows, seated rows pulling to the neck, and one arm cross-cable laterals. You can also do lying side laterals, bent over side laterals, and bent over cable laterals.

The legs are what makes me laugh, when I see a big guy with a good body and he has these little bitty chicken legs LOL always makes me get a chuckle
