Cable Reverse Fly

Isolation · Weight × reps

With softly bent elbows, open your arms out and back until they are roughly in line with your torso, then return slowly. Lead with the upper arms and keep your shoulders away from your ears while allowing the shoulder blades to move naturally. Avoid turning the fly into a row by progressively bending the elbows or extending the lower back.

HOW TO DO CABLE REVERSE FLY

  1. Set two pulleys around shoulder height, take the opposite handles so the cables cross, and step back with your arms reaching forward.
  2. Adjust pulley height and the size of the backward reach to keep the line of pull comfortable and focused on the rear shoulders and upper back.
