Standing Real Delt Fly

Shoulders Dumbbell

Description

The standing rear delt fly is an isolation exercise that targets the rear deltoids and upper back muscles, helping to improve posture and shoulder balance. Performed in a bent-over position, it involves lifting the arms out to the sides in a wide arc. This movement strengthens the often-overlooked rear shoulders, promoting balanced upper-body development. It’s ideal for enhancing shoulder stability and reducing the risk of injury.

How To

01 Hinge at the hips with a flat back, dumbbells hanging down
02 Keep a slight bend in your elbows, palms facing each other
03 Raise your arms out wide to shoulder height, leading with your elbows
04 Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top
05 Lower with control and repeat
