How to: Power Sled Rear Fly
- Attach the power sled and adjust the weight according to your strength level.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold onto the handles of the sled.
- With a soft bend in your knees, hinge at the hips and lean slightly forward.
- Extend your arms out to the side, leading with your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Pause for a moment before slowly returning to the starting position.
- 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.
