Pulley Reverse Fly Sit Tips

  1. Start by adjusting the pulley machine to a height that allows you to sit comfortably with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. This will ensure proper alignment and stability throughout the exercise.
  2. Grab the handles of the pulley with an overhand grip, keeping your palms facing down and your hands shoulder-width apart. Imagine squeezing a pencil between your shoulder blades to engage your upper back muscles before you even begin the movement.
  3. As you exhale, slowly extend your arms straight out in front of you, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows. Imagine that you are hugging a giant tree, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades together and feeling the contraction in your upper back muscles.
  4. Pause for a brief moment at the fully extended position, then inhale as you slowly return to the starting position, allowing your arms to come back in a controlled manner. Keep your core engaged throughout the entire movement to maintain stability and prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  5. Remember to keep your movements slow and controlled, focusing on the mind-muscle connection with your upper back. As you progress, gradually increase the weight on the pulley machine to continue challenging your muscles and promoting growth. Stay consistent, be patient, and enjoy the journey of strengthening your upper back!
