You're right I've got the programming wrong (not sure how I managed to do that).

I want to increase loading on rear delts, as well as also working them through pump sets. I had been doing this on my previous programme and rear delts have began to respond tremendously (could be a novel effect due to being weak initially). I'm a big fan of t-bar rows also and have progressed well on this exercise over the past year or so, but don't find they have helped rear delts all that much. Now i've put more focus on rear delts, they may be recruited more efficiently in t-bar rows though.

Think I'm going to run a hybrid of tier 2 by continuing with using tier 3 levels of volume on delts on loading days. Of course if I find I'm struggling to recover then I will bring the volume back down.

Thanks for your help mate!

I would caution against this, as I have many times over.

At it's essence, the approach entails doing more volume to make up for what is very often an inability to find the right exercises or to "do" them correctly (make sure the rear delt in your case) is activated and functioning as the prime mover.

Making the pump sets, as altar suggested, a trip to "delt hell" and back is what I'd focus on.

This should help you. FT Most Frequently Questions asked here on the Forum
