Standing suspended rear delt fly

The standing suspended rear delt fly is a bodyweight movement targeting the shoulders and upper back using a suspension strap system or gymnastic rings. It can be performed for time or reps as part of a dynamic warm-up for an upper-body strength workout, or in the workout itself either in traditional muscle-building rep ranges or for higher reps.

Benefits

  1. Strengthens the rear deltoids, rhomboids, lower traps, and other important postural muscles
  2. Excellent way to boost pull-to-push ratio in an upper-body workout
  3. Can be easily scaled up or down by standing more or less upright
