Machine Seated Reverse Fly (Parallel Grip)
The reverse pec deck gripped on the vertical handles, palms facing each other, instead of the horizontal bars.
How to do it
Setup
Seated facing the pad, chest against it, the vertical handles in front at shoulder height, palms in.
Steps
- Sweep the handles back and out until the arms are in line with the body.
- Keep the chest on the pad and the elbows nearly straight.
- Return the handles to the front slowly.
Common mistakes
Seat set so the handles sit above the shoulders: lower it until they meet the shoulder line. Chest coming off the pad to finish: stay against it and lighten the stack. Letting the weights crash between reps: control the return.
Breathing
Exhale opening the arms, inhale bringing them back.
