Band High Fly
A band fly from two high anchors, leaning forward from the hips; the arms sweep down and together in front of the knees.
How to do it
Setup
Between two high anchors, hips hinged forward, knees soft, arms out wide and high.
Steps
- Draw the hands down until they meet in front of the knees.
- Hold the lean and squeeze the chest.
- Let the band draw the arms back up and out slowly.
Common mistakes
Rounding the back in the lean: hinge from the hips, back flat. Standing up as the hands come down: keep the torso angle. Bending the elbows to pull: the arc stays wide.
Breathing
Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
