Bar Band Bent-Over Rear Delt Fly
The bent-over rear delt fly against bands anchored to a bar under the feet, each band crossed to the opposite hand.
How to do it
Setup
Feet on the bar laid across the floor, hinged to near-parallel, a band end in each hand crossed in front of the shins.
Steps
- Sweep the arms out to the sides until they line up with the shoulders.
- Keep the back flat and the feet pinning the bar.
- Lower the hands back in front of the shins against the bands.
Common mistakes
Bar rolling under the feet: stand on it with the whole foot so it cannot move. Rounding the back as the bands tighten: keep it flat, or take lighter bands. Bending the elbows to finish the sweep: keep them soft and fixed.
Breathing
Exhale opening the arms, inhale lowering.
