The Lever Seated Reverse Fly (Parallel Grip) is an exercise that targets the muscles of the upper back, shoulders, and rear deltoids. This exercise is performed using a lever machine, which provides resistance against the movement.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Adjust the height of the lever machine so that the handles are at shoulder level when you are seated on the machine.
2. Sit on the machine with your chest against the pad and your feet flat on the floor.
3. Grasp the handles with a parallel grip (palms facing each other) and fully extend your arms in front of you.
4. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, exhale and squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull the handles back and out to your sides.
5. Hold the contraction for a second at the peak of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
6. Inhale as you release the tension and extend your arms back out in front of you.
7. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Tips:
- Focus on using your back muscles to perform the movement rather than relying on momentum.
- Keep your core engaged and maintain good posture throughout the exercise.
- Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and technique.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
