Exercise Profile

Reverse Fly Standing Overview

The reverse fly standing workout is a great way to engage the upper back and shoulders.

This exercise primarily targets the posterior deltoids, rhomboids, and trapezius muscles.

By using the machine, you can isolate these muscles and avoid overstressing the auxiliary muscles.

It is an effective workout for improving posture and strengthening the upper body.

Reverse Fly Standing Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Keep your back straight and engage your core muscles.
  3. Extend your arms straight out in front of you, palms facing each other.
  4. Slowly raise your arms out to the sides, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
  5. Continue raising your arms until they are parallel to the floor.
  6. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Reverse Fly Standing Tips

  1. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, gripping the handles of the reverse fly machine firmly. Engage your core and maintain a slight bend in your knees to ensure stability throughout the exercise.
  2. Imagine squeezing a pencil between your shoulder blades as you slowly and controlledly lift your arms out to the sides. Focus on engaging your upper back muscles, particularly the rhomboids and rear deltoids, to initiate the movement.
  3. Keep your elbows slightly bent and maintain a soft, relaxed grip on the handles. Avoid locking your elbows or allowing your shoulders to hunch forward, as this can put unnecessary strain on your joints and limit the effectiveness of the exercise.
  4. As you reach the peak of the movement, pause briefly and feel the contraction in your upper back and shoulders. Visualize your muscles working hard to build strength and definition in these areas.
  5. Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control and resisting the urge to let gravity take over. Focus on the eccentric phase of the exercise, feeling the stretch in your upper back as you return to the starting position.
