How to: Power Sled Rear Fly

  1. Attach the power sled and adjust the weight according to your strength level.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold onto the handles of the sled.
  3. With a soft bend in your knees, hinge at the hips and lean slightly forward.
  4. Extend your arms out to the side, leading with your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Pause for a moment before slowly returning to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes

  • Using too much weight, leading to poor form.
  • Not engaging the shoulder blades during the fly.
  • Rounding the back instead of maintaining an upright posture.

Modifications

  • Use a lighter weight to allow for a full range of motion.
  • Perform the exercise seated to provide back support.

Tips

  • Engage your core throughout the movement to maintain stability.
  • Keep your elbows slightly bent to prevent strain.
  • Focus on a controlled motion rather than swinging the sled.
