Lever Seated Reverse Fly: Strengthen Rear Shoulders
- Face the fly machine while seated with your chest against the pad and the handles positioned in front of your torso.
- Reach forward and grasp each handle with a pronated or neutral grip.
- Contract the rear delts while keeping the elbows bent and open the arms in a reverse fly motion.
- Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
- Ensure the movement comes entirely from the upper arm moving in the shoulder socket rather than scapular retraction.
- The shoulder blades shouldn’t move drastically - there may be some end range retraction but nothing drastic.
- Don’t allow the head to jut forward as the arms open.
