How to: Lever Seated Reverse Fly
- Adjust the machine to your height and sit down comfortably.
- Grab the handles with a neutral grip and position your arms straight down.
- Keeping a slight bend in the elbows, raise your arms out to the side until they are parallel to the ground.
- Pause for a moment at the top and then lower back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight, leading to poor form.
- Allowing the shoulders to shrug up towards the ears during the movement.
- Not maintaining a steady tempo, which can reduce effectiveness.
Modifications

- Use a resistance band as an alternative for a gentler exercise.
Tips
- Maintain a straight back and avoid leaning forward to prevent strain.
- Control the movement to maximize muscle engagement and minimize risk of injury.
