Cable Reverse Fly

How to do it

  1. Set both cable pulleys to a low position and stand centered between them, grasping a handle in each hand with straight arms.
  2. Hinge forward at the hips until your torso is close to parallel with the floor, keeping a flat back and soft knees.
  3. With a slight bend in your elbows, sweep both handles up and out to the sides until your arms are level with your torso.
  4. Squeeze through the shoulders and upper back at the top before lowering the handles back down under control.
  5. Keep a steady tempo throughout, exhaling as you raise the handles and inhaling as you lower them.
  6. Keep your torso fixed in the hinged position rather than standing up to help complete the movement.
