How to: Band high fly
- Secure the band at a low point behind you.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding each end of the band.
- Keep your elbows slightly bent and pull the band outward, extending your arms to the sides.
- Squeeze the chest at the peak of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Not keeping the elbows slightly bent which can strain the joints.
- Using momentum instead of muscle strength to pull the bands.
- Allowing the bands to go too far back, which can lead to shoulder injuries.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise seated for better stability.
- Use a lighter band for beginners or those with less strength.
Tips
- Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the movement.
- Control the band's tension to ensure consistent resistance.
- Do not overextend your shoulders to avoid strain.
