Band Middle Fly
The band fly at chest height, anchored behind you; the arms close straight across in front of the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, the band anchored behind at chest height, handles out wide, elbows soft.
Steps
- Close the arms across until the handles nearly touch.
- Pause there; the band is tightest at this point.
- Open the arms back out slowly.
Common mistakes
Stepping too close to the anchor: the band goes slack; step out until it is taut at the start. Elbows bending into a press: keep the arc. Chest caving forward at the squeeze: stand tall.
Breathing
Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
