Reverse flys with band (Strength)

Reverse flys with band (Strength)

What you should feel?? When performed correctly, you will feel the muscles in your upper back and posterior deltoid working.

Instructions:

  • Kneeling on a bed or a floor with your band across the floor
  • Place one hand on the band as an anchor, and the opposite hand holding the band
  • With the arm holding the band, lift the arm up passed the side of the body
  • and complete in a large arc-like pattern, and slowly lower back to the starting position
  • You should feel the contraction in the back of the shoulder
  • Continue until you have finished the set

Main muscles targeted:

  • Rear deltoids
  • Upper back muscles

Main benefits:

Great for the activation of your posterior deltoids which are usually imbalanced when compared to the anterior deltoid. Due to much of our movements recruiting the anterior deltoids on the front of our shoulders, it is important to exercise the posterior deltoids at the back of the shoulder in order to create more of a balance between front and back.
