Bench Reverse Fly Low Lying Tips

  1. Position yourself face down on a flat bench with your chest resting against the surface and your feet firmly planted on the ground. This exercise primarily targets your Lats, so it’s important to engage them right from the start.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other, and let your arms hang straight down. This starting position allows for a full range of motion and ensures proper activation of your Lats throughout the exercise.
  3. As you exhale, lift both dumbbells out to the sides, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades together. Imagine that you are pulling your elbows back and up, engaging your Lats to perform the movement. Keep your arms slightly bent to avoid strain on your elbows.
  4. At the top of the movement, pause for a brief moment and contract your Lats to maximize the engagement. Feel the tension in your back muscles as you hold the position, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position as you inhale.
  5. Throughout the exercise, maintain a neutral spine and avoid arching your back or shrugging your shoulders. Focus on maintaining a controlled and smooth motion, rather than relying on momentum. Remember, it’s better to use lighter weights and perform the exercise with proper form than to sacrifice technique for heavier weights.
