Which intensity sequence is listed for the rear deltoids?

• A. 3,5,7
• B. 3,3,3
• C. 3 intensity for a 6-8 second hold
• D. 3

Answer: (A)

Progressive loading across a short set sequence helps the rear deltoids activate cleanly and tolerate a deeper stretch without compromising form. Start with a light intensity to warm up and cue proper shoulder positioning, then move to a moderate level to deepen engagement, and finish with a higher intensity to maximize activation while keeping control. The ascending sequence 3, 5, 7 matches this approach, providing a gradual ramp that suits the rear deltoids’ size and role. The other options don’t offer that stepped progression across three parts, so they don’t provide the same controlled, progressive stimulus.
