Reverse Flyes

Reverse Flyes Instructions

• Lay chest down against an incline bench, gripping a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing each other.
• Legs positioned in a secure stance.
• Extend your arms perpendicular to the bench with a slight bend in the elbow.
• Keeping a slight elbow flex, raise the dumbbells up and around your body in a semi-circle motion.
• Think about pinching a coin with your shoulder blades at the top of the exercise. 
• Control the movement with your posterior shoulder, not your arms. Elbows always stay in front of your wrist.
• Your arms are a lever for your posterior shoulder.
• Don't let your traps roll forward while executing the movement.
• Return to the starting position.

*Tips*

• Don't let your shoulders roll forward or your upper traps shrug during the movement.
• Start with bodyweight only and feel the contraction in your posterior shoulder. 
• Avoid excessively heavy weight, this exercise is about activating your posterior shoulder.
