How to perform a Bent Over Reverse Fly?

  • Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and hold a weight in each hand.
  • Bend forward from your hips while keeping your back straight.
  • Bend your knees slightly for balance and to keep tension off your lower back.
  • Let your arms hang down and pull the weights up sideways in a sort of flying motion.
  • Keep your arms slightly bent and raise the elbows high.
  • Hold for a second, then slowly lower back down.
  • Keep your core engaged and breathe regularly.
  • Focus on using your back muscles.

Common faults

  • Extending the elbows during the movement.
  • Lifting the head during the exercise.
