How to: Ring Reverse Fly

  1. Adjust the suspension trainer to shoulder height.
  2. Grab the handles with your palms facing each other.
  3. Lean backward, allowing your arms to extend out to the sides.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull your arms back to the starting position.
  5. Slowly return to the start, maintaining control throughout the motion.

Common Mistakes

  • Using too much weight, which can lead to improper form.
  • Not engaging the core, causing unnecessary strain on the back.
  • Allowing the shoulders to hunch instead of pulling them back.

Modifications

  • Perform the exercise at a lower angle to reduce strain.
  • Use lighter resistance if you are new to this movement.

Tips

  • Keep your arms slightly bent at the elbows during the movement.
  • Focus on squeezing the shoulder blades together as you lift.
  • Control the motion and avoid swinging your body.
