Cable Rear Delt Fly
Facing a cable crossover with the pulleys set high and the cables crossed, open the straight arms from in front of the chest out to a T.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the machine a step back, pulleys above head height, cables crossed, each hand holding the opposite handle.
Steps
- Open the straight arms out and back to shoulder height.
- Pause with the arms in a T, elbows soft.
- Return slowly until the hands cross in front of the chest.
Common mistakes
Pulleys set at shoulder height: raise them above the head; this fly pulls from above. Shoulders shrugging up toward the cables: keep them down so the rear delts open the arms. Elbows bending into a row: keep the soft angle frozen.
Breathing
Exhale opening, inhale returning.
