Resistance Band Bent-Over Rear Delt Fly
The bent-over rear delt fly against a band held between the hands rather than anchored underfoot; opening the arms stretches it under the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Hinged to near-parallel, back flat, the band held in both hands under the chest, arms hanging long.
Steps
- Open the long arms out to the sides, stretching the band.
- Stop when the arms line up with the shoulders.
- Let the arms come back together slowly, the band still taut.
Common mistakes
Torso lifting a little more with every rep: the hinge angle stays where it started. Band riding up toward the face: keep it under the chest so the arms pull it straight apart. Letting the band snap the hands back together: control the return.
Breathing
Exhale opening the arms, inhale lowering.
