The Cable Standing Cross-Over High Reverse Fly is a strength training exercise that targets the upper back, shoulders, and rear deltoids.
How to perform
To perform this exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by setting the cable pulleys to the highest position on a cable machine. Attach a D-handle to each side.
2. Stand in the center of the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grab one handle in each hand with an overhand grip.
3. Extend your arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height, with a slight bend in your elbows.
4. Keeping your chest up and core engaged, slowly pull the handles out to the sides in a reverse fly motion. Your arms should form a âTâ shape at the top of the movement.
5. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can increase the weight on the cable machine or perform more repetitions.
8. Make sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Keep your back straight, shoulders down and relaxed, and core engaged.
This exercise is great for targeting the upper back and shoulders, and can help improve posture and shoulder stability.
