Rear Delt Fly

Set-up

• Hold a light dumbbell in each hand and hinge forward at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor.
• Let the dumbbells hang below your shoulders with a slight bend in your elbows.

How to do it

1. Raise your arms out to the sides until they are level with your shoulders.
2. Pause briefly.
3. Lower slowly back to the start.

Coaching cues

• Lead with your elbows and keep your neck relaxed.
• Keep your back flat and still throughout.

Common mistakes

• Swinging the torso up to lift the weights.
• Using a weight so heavy that you shrug instead of lifting with the backs of the shoulders.
