Reverse Flyes Guide

Main Muscle: Shoulders

  1. To begin, lie down on an incline bench with the chest and stomach pressing against the incline. Have the dumbbells in each hand with the palms facing each other (neutral grip).
  2. Extend the arms in front of you so that they are perpendicular to the angle of the bench. The legs should be stationary while applying pressure with the ball of your toes. This is the starting position.
  3. Maintaining the slight bend of the elbows, move the weights out and away from each other (to the side) in an arc motion while exhaling. Tip: Try to squeeze your shoulder blades together to get the best results from this exercise.
  4. The arms should be elevated until they are parallel to the floor.
  5. Feel the contraction and slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position while inhaling.
  6. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Jun 15, 2010 5:27 PM: These are for the posterior delt head, I love these with a passion. There's not much to say about these, don't go too heavy, go hard; you want to get all the benefits of a great workout with hurting yourself, you have no one to impress but yourself. Second, do these standing to burn more calories, but...+See More

May 4, 2010 6:41 AM: This is an awesome exercise for your delts...to hit the top of the delt, keep your hands level like pictured, if you really wanna hit those rear delts, you need to turn your hands down to where your thumbs are pointing to the ground.
