Standing Cable Rear Delt Fly

A good exercise to work the back of the shoulder.

The focus is on the posterior deltoid, your upper back and your traps are also engaged.

To develop your shoulders in a balanced way, we recommend that you vary your exercises with different working angles.

Read the following instructions to perform the standing cable rear delt fly

• 1. Arrange two cables on a pulley machine for back-pulling. Grab them with the palms of your hands down and put your arms over your head by crossing the cables (see video).
• 2. In standing position, with the feet at the pelvis width spacing or shoulders (as you feel), you have your knees with a very slight flexion, just like the elbows during exercise.
• 3. The back is flat and your bust is gaited, contract your abs.
• 4. Pull the cables out, keeping a slight bend in the elbows.
• 5. Return to starting position by releasing the tension of the cables.
• 6. Continue your series by repeating the movement.

• 5. Bring out the chest when pulling to give more mobility to the shoulders.
