Step-by-step guide:

  1. Reach out and grab the handles with your palms facing each other, ensuring that your arms are fully extended and parallel to the floor.
  2. Slowly pull the handles back and out to your sides, squeezing your shoulder blades together and keeping your arms slightly bent.
  3. Hold this position for a brief moment to maximize the tension in your rear deltoids.
  4. Gradually return the handles to the starting position, making sure to control the movement and not letting the weights just drop back. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

  • Controlled Movement: Move your arms in a controlled, slow manner as you perform the fly movement. Avoid using momentum or fast, jerky movements, which can lead to injury and won't effectively target the muscles.
  • Full Range of Motion: Make sure to fully extend your arms out to the sides and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement. Then, slowly return to the starting position. Avoid half-reps as they don't fully engage the rear
