Bodyweight Bent Over Rear Delt Fly
Equipment
Lean forward from your hips until your torso is almost parallel to the floor, keeping your back straight and arms hanging directly below your shoulders.
Extend your arms out to the sides, keeping them slightly bent at the elbows, and squeeze your shoulder blades together as if you're trying to hold a pencil between them.
Hold this position for a moment, then slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain the bend in your knees and keeping your back straight throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: This exercise is not about speed but control. Lift your arms to the sides in a slow, controlled motion, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Avoid the common mistake of using momentum or swinging your arms to lift them. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury. Focus on the Rear Delts: The main purpose of this exercise is to target the rear deltoids (back shoulder muscles). To do this, make sure that you are squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. Avoid the mistake of lifting your arms too high or too low
