How to: Dumbbell One Arm Reverse Fly (with support)
- Set up by positioning a dumbbell on one side and support your other arm on a bench.
- With your supporting arm, bend at the waist so your body is parallel to the ground.
- Using the opposite arm, grasp the dumbbell and let it hang straight down from your shoulder.
- With a slight bend in the elbow, lift the dumbbell out to the side until your arm is parallel to the floor.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement before lowering the dumbbell back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
