Cable Rear Delt Fly

Form Cues

• Set both cable pulleys to roughly shoulder or slightly higher height and attach a D-handle to each.

• Stand between the two cable towers, facing outward.

• Grab each handle with the opposite hand so the cables cross in front of your chest (right hand holds left cable, left hand holds right cable).

• Start with arms crossed in front at shoulder height, slight bend in the elbows.

• Sweep both arms outward and back in a wide arc, pulling the handles apart and behind your shoulders.

• Lead with the elbows, not the hands.

• Squeeze the rear delts and middle traps at the end of the movement.

• Control the return, letting the cables pull the arms back into the crossed starting position.

• Keep your torso upright and avoid using momentum.
