How to do Reverse Flies - Rear Delts

This Tutorial is for reverse flies - an exercises for the backside of the shoulders (rear delts). Reverse flies are when you hold your upper body almost horizontal and lift weights sideways / backwards up.

Description: Reverse Flies - Rear Delts

* Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, bend your knees and lean forward. The angle between upper body and the floor should be approximately 30 degrees, the back has to be straight. Hold two dumbbells in your hands and let your palms face each other. Bend your arms slightly (during the whole exercise).
* Lift the dumbbells sideways / backwards up until your arms are parallel to the floor. The more you lift the weight sideways, the better. Exhale when you lift the weights.
* Then let the weights sink back down until your arms almost reach vertical level and inhale. Your arms should not reach vertical level, because that's when your delts would lose contraction. Up motion: appr. 3 seconds. Down motion: appr. 2 seconds.
