Reverse Machine Flyes

Isolate your rear delts with this seated machine variation.

Machine reverse flyes are great for isolating the rear delts in a controlled environment. They're ideal for beginners and those recovering from shoulder strain. At FitnessTracker, we recommend this as a joint-friendly option for improving posture and upper-back strength.

Instructions

  1. Set the machine handles to the rear position and adjust the seat so handles are at shoulder height.
  2. Sit facing the pad and grip the handles with a neutral grip.
  3. With a slight bend in your elbows, pull the handles outward in a wide arc.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak.
  5. Return to the starting position under control and repeat.
