    How to: Cable One Arm Reverse Fly

    1. Adjust the cable to shoulder height.
    2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grip the handle with one hand.
    3. Keeping a slight bend in your elbow, pull the handle outwards and backwards in a reverse fly motion.
    4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you lift the weight, then return to the start position.
    5. Complete for the desired number of repetitions.

    Common Mistakes

    • Using momentum instead of muscle to lift.
    • Not keeping the shoulder stable during the movement.
    • Overextending the range of motion.

    Modifications

    • Perform with lighter weights.
    • Use resistance bands instead of cables for a gentler resistance.

    Tips

    • Maintain a slight bend in your elbow to reduce strain.
    • Avoid using heavy weights that compromise form.
    • Focus on slow and controlled motions for better engagement.
